Not sure if this is the right board, but here goes!
What is the difference between the two? I made a marzipan recipe and shaped it into some motorcycle parts, but they never got hard like I wanted. How long does it take for it to set and be stiff/hard (or does it?). They were pretty thick pieces, probably a 1/2 to 1 inch around (they were the pipes). Does the gumpaste set harder?
Thanks...

Hi chubbycheeks,
It is my understanding that marzipan consists of finely crushed almonds, egg whites and confectioners sugar. I myself have never made anything with marzipan but I have worked with gumpaste and that stuff dries pretty quick and hard. Maybe it's because one of the ingredients is gum-tex and that makes it dry really quick and super hard.
Hope I at least helped a little.
Yes, my recipe used almond paste, powdered sugar and liquid of some sort (lol, can't remember). Alright, I'm going to play with gumpaste and see if that works!!
