Fondant doesn't have stretch & you can't roll it thin enough & ball tool the petals etc. to make a realistic flower. I use fondant with a quite a lot of tylose added, that makes a wonderful consistancy for making flowers & it is tough. I also use cold porcelain if the weather is too humid or damp, cold porcelain is non toxic, but is not edible so I usually use it only if I can place the flowers or whatever I am making, on a plaque that can be removed before cutting the cake.
I love gumpaste! You can roll it super thin to get the most realism in my opinion. Realism is what I strive for.....
If you have any flower questions, feel free to e-mail me. I teach classes and might be able to clear up some fuzzy areas you might have.
Happy holidays!
