Except that I am using the sugarpaste mix that I bought from a place
recommended on this list. It already has the sugar added to it. My idea
was to get some experince using the mix and then perhaps move on to
making my own from the raw ingredients. Unfortunately, the mix has
sat unused now for a year or two. Maybe I'll get to it sometime this
winter or spring.

Thanks for the suggestion if I try it from scratch.
