I also tried putting cocktail sticks in to hold up the piece that needs holding and it keeps tearing. Does any1 have ny ideas?? Thanks

Hi Kel
Gum tragacanth will make your fondant stronger, although adding slightly more CMC or Tylose powder to your fondant will also help strengthen it. If you type ‘Clark Baxter’ in the search box you’ll see five answers there which may be of help to you.
