What Can It Be Used For?
This gum paste is used to create decorations such as figurines, sugar flowers, toppers, and various details to place on desserts.
What’s the Difference Between Fondant and Gum Paste?
Gum paste rolls out very easily, just like fondant. However, it is denser and more elastic, allowing it to be rolled out very thinly to form sugar flowers and other decorations. It dries hard, which helps it maintain its shape. It is generally used for decorative purposes and rarely consumed.
Can You Mix Gum Paste with Fondant?
Yes! Mixing gum paste with fondant speeds up drying time and makes the mixture harder.
