Hi all,
Forgive me if this sounds silly but gumpaste isn't edible is it? I am about to attempt my first flowers out of it and am wondering what you do with the flowers ( or anything else you make out of gumpaste) after making them? Do you just remove them from the cakes and throw them out? Can they be re-used?
I have seen floral arrangements out of gumpaste flowers in magazines so I guess they can be used in other ways than for cake decorating. It seems like so much effort to just toss off a cake.
Thanks for any help.

Kim,
Gumpaste is edible, as in it will not make you sick, but since it dries so hard, I do not think that I would recommend eating anything made out of gumpaste. I do not even eat my royal decorations, even though my hubby likes to eat them. That is just my opinion though, cause I do not like to eat any kind of hard frosting like royal or gumpaste, especially when it doesn't have a good taste to me (mmm...chocolate would be nice 
)
The gumpaste itself is edible, but sometimes the flowers have floral wire or tape attached or inedible stamens. I can also tell you from experience that plain gumpaste is not very good. It's just like hard and chewy sugar, harder than royal icing.
