 You can use gum paste it will dry hard and keep its shape, I have used it for a variety of different projects, it is a great medium to paint or write on with edible food markers. I have also worked with pastillage and it is also a really good medium but you have to be able to work really quickly.

I think gumpaste is very good to make a book. I was able to make a bride and a groom bears made of gumpaste and it stand well plus the gold flower which I kept a petal and after 3 weeks is still ok and didn't break because I want to see how long will the gumpaste flower stays fine. Please see the picture.Here's the recipe:http://cakecentral.com/a/easy-gumpaste-recipe

I agree with the gumpaste option.  I have used pastillage and it can be very fragile and quite challenging to work with.  I also like flower paste (bought ready made).  It can be really quite thin but holds it's shape forever!

I agree to gumpaste. you can put very thin wire used for flower petals inside which you can insert into the cake later.
