For those of you who do gumpaste, where do you get your supplies from and the chalks you use...is it as in Crayola? 
Also, if using MMF, can you add gumtex and turn it into gumpaste? One last ?, compared to making flowers out of fondant, how hard and similar is it? Thanks!!! 
The gumpaste recipe at Nicholaslodge.com is one of the best. Wilton is now packaging ready-made gumpaste. It helps to know what the stuff is supposed to feel like, so when you make it from scratch, you know when it is right.
Many people use artist chalk for flower making. It is non-toxic, but NOT to be eaten. Some people (kids) to to eat gumpaste flowers, so be sure they know to remove them from the cake, and that they are not edible.
You can also use dry food colors, luster dust, petal dusts available at cake decorating stores and online.
