I am making a ruffle cake for a client's wedding. Is it better to use fondant or gum paste to create the ruffles? I will be making an ombre ruffle cake similar to the ones pictured. Thank you!! :)

I have a tutorial from Steel Penny Cakes for the cake on the right hand side.  She uses fondant.  This is one of my favourite cake designs!  I've used it and variations of it several times.
