Hi everyone, I have a question - what is the exact difference between gumpaste and fondant? I have been browsing the net and some places they refer to them as the same thing and in others they differentiate. Please help.
Also Andrea - your sculpting is absolutely awesome. This is only 2 weeks worth of work? wow!!

Rebecca, I think the difference is that the fondant dries out faster, so you have to work very quickly. Gum paste stays softer and more flexible so it's easier to do sculpting with (and I believe it holds the shape better than fondant....). I have yet to use it tho, but hope to soon...my oldests 11th birthday is coming up in couple of months and she's already got this elaborate cake she wants me to make! lol
