I have given up on coloring it myself. If you cant get red gum paste, red fondant works as good only you have to knead in some tylo powder to make it hold its shape. Alicia: I buy the red gum paste.

Because the gum paste is white and I use as much red colour gel as I can, it still doesn't turn out brilliant red...just kinda reddish pink. What did you do to make yours so red? Or did you buy red gum paste? I am having so much trouble making my gum paste red.

But any nonstick rolling board would do. You can do some thhings with a foampad that you cant do with a rolling board and vice versa. All cake decorating suppliers should stock pads & boards. I dont like rubber boards as you can not cut out with metal cutters and knives without cutting into the board. Beth: I got mine from the UK. But any nonstick rolling board would do.
