[Sca-cooks] Gum paste

[kattratt]

Depends upon where you store it.  I will warn you however when it says 
rock hard it means it!!!!  It could almost break your teeth and IS water 
proof at least for cold water.  Rather tasty if flavored however.  We 
kept some in the freezer for about 2-3 months before serving.  It makes 
great dishes.  Damn and sitting here I just figured out how to do plates 
out of the stuff.   Arrrrggg where was that brain wave a year ago!!!!

Who made cups last year out of gum/sugar paste but avoided plates so 
that we wouldn't have to break plates... It never occurred to me to use 
styrofoam plates!!!!! DUH!!!!!!
