In this tutorial I will show you how to make a corn starch dusting bag.
This is what you need to create it:
1. A foam washcloth
2. A rubberband
3. Corn starch
1. Put a pile of corn starch on the washcloth.
2. Take the four corners and put them together. Then tighten them together with the rubberband.
3. Now you have a handy dusting bag which is useful when you roll out your sugar paste (fondant icing).
Happy Caking

I have tried everything but find cornstarch works best when working with sugarpaste/fondant.

Lindsay: Most use cornstarch but some do use icing sugar. I like cornstarch myself.

Hi there,
I was just wondering which is the best to use when rolling out sugar paste?
I thought you had to use icing sugar?
Sorry, I am new to cake decorating, LOL. I just wonder which is the best to use ie: icing sugar, or corn starch?

We use new white or ecru Knee Hi nylons. Just add the cornstarch or half cornstarch, half powdered sugar mixture and tie a knot in it and you are ready to go.

I think you can find them in the baby care/beauty section at your local supermarket.
