Yes, gumpaste is edible. All the ingredients are plant-based. It is not very tasty, it is very hard, so sharp edges can form when biting into it, and usually, your customer is not smart enough to remember "Wire - not edible!"
Gumpaste has a very long history in food decoration -- during Medieval days it was called sugarplate, when there were no synthetic ingredients.
