gumpaste= a sugar paste you can roll extremely thin to make flowers, swags bows and mold into things, people, animals etc. You can buy this premaid or make your own version. Not usually very pleasant to eat as it has almost no taste and dries very hard. Used for deco purposes mostly.
sugarpaste= another name for fondant.
fondant= a sugar based paste you can cover a cake in, make decoration with and cover cookies with also. You can also mix this 50/50 with the gumpaste to make a stronger compound to modle with. This drys hard but not as hard as gumpaste. This can be eaten and many people do. You can buy it premaid or make your own version.
