One of the secrets to make beautiful cakes is the decoration, and of course a cake decorated with sugar flowers will always be a success. Today we are going to give you the recipe to make the pastillage. It is simple and if you follow the instruccions you will not have any problem whatsoever. You will need:
1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin 2 tablespoons lime juice 3 tablespoons water 1 teaspoon glucose 1 pound and one cup powder sugar 10X (make sure the sugar is 10X)
Place the lime juice and the water in a pyrex cup, add the gelatine, place in microoven for 15 seconds. The gelatin will disolve very well, (do not over heat)then add the glucose y make sure is disolve completely. Now put half of the sugar in the KitchenAid bowl, place the pallet on the machine and beat slowly, keep adding the sugar a little bit at a time. If you put all the sugar at once, you can brake your machine. A little bid at the time will be fine. You will get a soft paste. Place some sugar on the table, and knead the paste with the remaining sugar. Do not add all sugar at once, go little by little. The paste can be a little sticky, dont worry, just put powdered sugar in your hands. Wrap in a plastic bag and let it at room temperature for 24 hours.
Pastillage do not need to be refrigerated.
This is a very easy to do recipe. If you have any questions do not hesitate to send me an e-mail.
