Still looking for a few that are not on the link. Please...what is WASC and what is MMF? I am new to this and would really, really like to know...my first Wilton class is 5 days away -- might as well be a lifetime...Thanks!
WASC = White almond sour cream cake
MMF = Marshmallow fondant

For the questions asked in the first message, I will try to explain. Sorry for my English.
FONDANT: IT IS A SUGAR PASTE MADE WITH UNFLAVOR JELLOW, GLYCERIN, GLUCOSE, ETC. THAT CAN BE DONE IN DIFFERENT FLAVORS
GUM PASTE: IS A PASTE MADE WITH EGG WHITE, CONFECTIONERS SUGAR, CMC OR TYLOSE, AND SHORTENING, AND IT IS USED TO MAKE FLOWERS
PASTIAGE: IS ANOTHER SUGAS PASTE THAT IS USED TO MAKE CONSTRUCTIONS, AS CASTLES, BOXES, THE PIECES ARE CUT AND GLUED WITH SUGAR AND EGG WHITE. THEN CAN BE PAINTED OR LEAVED IN WHITE.
FONDANT IS ALSO CALLED SUGARPASTE
I HOPE THIS EXPLANATION CAN HELP YOU. RECIPES OF GUM PASTE OR CMC PASTE, CONSTRUCTION SUGAR PASTE AND CITRIC FONDANT CAN BE FOUND UNDER RECIPE SECTION. GRACE
