How to Make Moulding Paste

• Sift icing sugar and pour 2/3rd into a bowl. Keep remaining aside.
• In a small pan, soak crystals in water, for an hour.
• Add fat and heat on low, stirring slowly, till liquid is transparent.
• Do not boil.
• Pour in sugar in the bowl and mix well.
• Knead in more icing as required, for mouldable consistency.
• Dust hands with corn flour, before moulding.
• Keep the kneaded icing in a zip lock plastic bag, till required.
• Prepare a few days ahead, at leisure, since moulding is a time consuming procedure.
