I would like to start making figures,,,and I need help with what to use..So If anybody can give me some advice I would appreciate the help. I’ve tryed to find tylose powder but could not fined any..

Some people use modeling chocolate, it has the smoothness of fondant but takes longer to dry. I used to make gumpaste with Gum Tragacanth. Let me see if I can find a recipe for you.

Hey Bronecia…. When I started making figurines, I used you tube tutorials…. There are so many! Sometimes, I just use plain fondant to make figurines, you just have to make sure you let each bit dry completely before putting it together…. It takes a while to get comfortable doing them, and lots of practice- good luck and have fun:)
Here is a recipe I found online that doesn’t require Tylose or Gum Trangacanth. I have not tried this myself so am not sure how well it works.
EASY GUMPASTE RECIPE
Ingredients
1 Lb Powdered Sugar Fine -10X plastic bag
1 Packet Knox Gelatin
2 TBS of Lemon juice
3 TBS of Water
1 Tsp of Glucose
Instructions
Add gelatin, water & juice over double boiler; dissolve about 5 to 7 minutes. Add glucose stir. Use a mixer with dough hook. Place sugar in mixer then add liquid mix until slightly together remove and knead. If it feels too sticky add a little more sugar. Wrap with plastic wrap and place in plastic bag, seal. Let rest over night.

I just bought tylose powder, I ordered it directly from wilton.com
I use Satin Ice Fondant for my figurines, sometimes i use Tylose, sometimes I don´t, depends on the rush, and the weather of course.
The way I create my figurines, is from bottom to top, and letting dry and harden between each piece.
