Only you would never use gum past to cover at cake. Gum paste is much more stretchy and will eventually dry up hard. Hope that was answer to your question?

Your works are mesmerizing! My question may sound stupid but I'm not so familiar with fondant and gum paste. What's the difference between the two? Are they interchangeable in decorating a cake? Can a gumpaste be used instead of fondant in covering a cake? Thank you. Hi Louise,

But you can do it. It will also make the figurine much less heavy. I would brush the foam with clear piping gel before the fondant. Olivia: NO I have not tried it yet. But you can do it.

I was thinking of making jungle figures such as a monkey- can I use the foam ball for his head and body? If you did use the foam do you have to cover it with buttercream or anything first?

Gum paste/tylo paste/modelling paste are all the same and contains a "gum agent" that thickens the paste, so that it dry faster and hold up the shape if making figurines, flowers ect. fancypants: It can get confusing with all the different names for the same things.

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.

It is perfect when you are making decorations for cakes ect. Jackie: Yes you can use store bought fondant. Pls go to my comment no.18 for more info. thx. Shira: the blossom cutter is from Orchard products, the leaves is from JEM (it is a strawberry cutter set) and the daisy or 6 petal is also from orchard. You can get global sugar art. CakeBunny: Well I would not serve small parts as a decoration for wee ones, I would have removed it first. But of course you have to be careful when serving. My kids never eats the decorations on my cakes ect. Because they know it is hard but if you like you can use only fondant. It may be a little soft to work with though.
