Yes its the kind of edible clay they use for flowers
I love her accent and the way she says ‘The Wilton one-hundred and twenty-three’
@anntext well obviously. everything about baking is edible.
That kettle looks like a dalek.
Actually the kettle makes the sugar paste sort of glossy and then they look a bit prettier
yes its edible, its pretty much the same as fondant except it contains gum tragacanth which makes it more pliable an dries harder, you can by it ready made from any cake craft store or you can make it yourself and again the ingredients can be bought from the store. to make just nead alittle gum powder into your fondant and leave to rest for awhile before using..i like to add a small amount of shortening which helps reduce cracking while your working as gumpaste tends to dry quickly
how do u make gumpaste? can ueat them?
flour paste is that the same as sugar paste / fondant ?
what a stoopid idea holding them over a boiling kettle
