sugar paste is rolled fondant and is made of powdered sugar, glyceryn, fat and gelatin. used to enrobe cakes in conjunction with marzipan and apricot jelly.

pastillage is far more brittle and works like plaster. powdered sugar, gelatin and cornstarch. great for building and casting.

gumpast is powdered sugar, glucose and gum arabic. very pliable you can roll it paper thin and fashion beautiful, delicate flowers, shapes etc.

all are sweet and kind of nasty to eat but beautiful.

sugarflowers plus has a web site to show off their product of gumpaste flowers.
