gumpaste is a type of sugar paste (like fondant) that is used to decorate cakes..primarily used in making flowers. I've used it to make shoes, flowers, bows, etc
it contains powdered sugar, shortening, egg whites (or meringue powder) and gum tragacanth although you can use Tylose instead of the gum tragacanth to make it.
Thank you all. We use Flower paste in england to make flowers which is a pastillage. So i guess that gumpaste is a pastillage like tylo paste. Sugarpaste is i think the same as what you call fondant. I just wasnt sure, im still trying to get to grips with the different terms. Thanks once again.
