Where can I find those and what are they in Finnish? I'd like to make my own sugarpaste.

Never heard of it, I checked the Enteka (technical dictionary) part of MOT for you...

From this recipe page above, It says that you can get Glucose at the apteeki:
( 2 rkl nestemäistä glukoosia (rakettiglukoosia saa apteekista, käytä 2 annospussia yhteen taikinaan))

as for tracanath, Even Google gives only 3 links and one of them is a Kosher shop:

The gum isn't as important as the glucose. Thanks!

Karen,

You can use "vaalea siirapia" - found in any supermarket close to the sugars - instead of glucose. You won't get a pure white SP but it works perfectly!

Thanks, I was hoping that was the case. I have some clear corn syrup. Would that work?

I was near the apteeki today and asked about the glucose. It's only sold as a powder, but it was cheap so I bought some. I'll have a test run this weekend. Thanks for all the help.
