hi, hope this solves your problem
Gum paste is really a pliable "sugar dough", mixed with gums, which makes it easy to shape like modeling clay!. Because of its sugar content, dries hard with the texture and crispness of a Necco wafer, and can be very brittle!. It can be tinted, painted on or dusted with decorating dusts!. It is considered "technically" edible, but it is not palatable, especially because it's bland and doesn't taste very good!.
Gum paste is versatile and is stronger than Fondant!. It can be rolled very thin, used for making delicate shapes or molded into figurines, trees, and animals!. Pieces can be "glued" together to make large standing ones!. Gum paste dries very quickly if thin, but takes a long time to dry if thick, sometimes 24 hours or more!. Decorations can be made weeks in advance and temporarily stored in airtight containers, in a cool, dark place or kept there indefinitely away from heat or moisture, which can soften them!.
You can make Gum paste from scratch or buy it ready-made or as a mix where all you do is add water!. When mixed, the recipe should be smooth and non-sticky!.
