Fondant and gum paste are not the same thing.
My favorite gum paste recipe (and instructions) is on the Nicholas Lodge website www.nicholaslodge.com
For fondant there are many recipes. Many people like the Marshmallow fondant (MMF) here in the recipe forum.

May I ask, what's the purpose for each of them. Can I use either one to make figurine? BTW if I wish to put figurines on a whipped fresh cream cake and subsequently keep the decorated cake in fridge, shall I use fondant or gumpaste? I believe sugar paste should fall under the category of fondant, right?
Thanks in advance.
Gum paste will harden faster and more hard than MMF. MMF alone will always stay somewhat pliable but is good for figurines with support inside (ie: foil, toothpicks, etc). You can add some gum paste powder to MMF and it will help it harden better. I generally do this to the piece of MMF that I'm working with than the whole batch. I don't have an amount for you though, I just eyeball it, but it is probably around 1/4 teaspoon to a tennis ball size of MMF.
