flower paste甘佩斯

Place the egg whites in a stand mixer bowl, fitted with the flat paddle or scraper paddle attachment.蛋白放入碗中。

Turn the mixer on high speed for 10 seconds to break up the egg whites.高速打10秒。

Turn the mixer to the lowest speed; slowly add the 725 g of powdered sugar to make a soft consistency royal icing.打蛋器转入最低速缓缓加入725克糖粉。

Turn up the speed to setting 3 or 4 for about two minutes. Make sure the mixture is at the soft-peak stage. It should look shiny, like meringue, and the peaks should fall over. (If coloring the entire batch, add the paste, gel or liquid color at this stage, making it a shade darker than desired) 打蛋器转到3或4档，打约2分钟至蛋白湿性，即出现弹性的软软折下来的尖端。如果在此时加入颜色，应加入的比预期出现的颜色要深一些。

Turn the mixer to the slow setting and sprinkle in the tylose over a five-second time period. Turn the speed up to the high setting for a few seconds. This will thicken the mixture. 打蛋器转入低速，缓缓加入泰勒粉（速度要慢，加入粉的时间起码超过5秒），然后转入高速再打几秒。混合物变稠。

Scrape the mixture out of the bowl onto a work surface that has been sprinkled with some of the reserved 100 g of powdered sugar. Place shortening on your hands and knead the paste, adding enough of the reserved powdered sugar to form a soft but not sticky dough. You can check by pinching with your fingers; they should come away clean. Place the finished paste in a resealable plastic bag, then place the bagged paste in a second bag and seal well.把混合物拿出放在案板，撒入剩下的100克糖粉。在手上抹一些植物黄油，一边放糖粉一边捏面团直至面团软软

Mature the gumpaste for 24 hours if possible before use, keeping in a cool environment. 将甘佩斯在阴凉处放置24小时再使用。

When you are ready to use the paste, cut off a small amount and knead in a little vegetable shortening into the paste. If coloring at this stage, knead the color into the paste until the desired shade is achieved. 用时切下需要的大小，并加入少量的植物黄油。如果之前没有上色或在此时上色，直接将颜色加入面团一直到需要的颜色就可以。

When not in use, the paste will need to be stored in the refrigerator. Before use, remove from refrigerator and allow the paste to come to room temperature. Knead a small amount of shortening into the paste.不用的时候，需要将甘佩斯放入冰箱，在用时将其拿出直至室温，在揉入少量植物黄油就可以使用。

Always store the paste vacuum-sealed with a food saver type system if available, or in resealable plastic bags with as much air removed as possible. The paste will keep under refrigeration for approximately six months. You can keep the paste longer by freezing it. Be sure to use zip-top freezer bags. If you will be freezing a batch of paste, allow it to mature for 24 hours before placing into the freezer. The paste can be kept in the freezer for several years with no problems and can be taken ou

Less tylose can be used if you do not want the gum paste to dry as fast, or if you're making dark colors that typically dry the gum paste out (e.g., black, dark green, purple). 如果不想甘佩斯干得过快，或者需要深色效果比如黑色，深绿等，则可以在制作过程中少加入一些泰勒粉。
