I am not sure if I should use fondant, gum paste, candy clay or mmf to make a bow. What's the difference between [email protected]
thanks

Fondant, gumpaste and mmf are all basically along the same lines.

Fondant is soft and is for covering cakes, making figures and doing bows.

mmf is fondant made with a recipe that includes marshmallows so the same texture, just different taste.

Gumpaste is a harder paste to make flowers and figures with more detail or ones that you want to harden. It will dry rock hard, but still be fairly delicate.
Candy clay, I haven't tried yet, but is a type of chocolate for modelling.
Hope this helps!

gumpaste sets hard real quick so if you need a fast drying bow its the way to go otherwise I would use fondant

MMF doesn't seem to crack on me the way fondant does so I like to use that. I'm kind of addicted to the stuff now because it is just so easy to use. The recipe for it is on this and it is really simple.
