I'm looking at a book by Alan Dunn, and in his directions he mentions using equal parts of sugar paste and flower paste. Now, I know one of them is gum paste. What are the two ingredients I need to use? Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Sugarpaste is fondant. Flower paste is gumpaste. So you would use half of each, or what others on here call 50/50.
Just 1 more difference in the use of the English language and vocabulary between us Brits and other countries!

No problem. I also have one of his books but haven't dared to try anything yet, it all looks a bit complicated (its his Flowers and Foliage for Wedding Cakes) and there's some strange flowers in there. I am trying some of Paddi Clark's ones first, since they look slightly easier icon_rolleyes.gif
