    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

    flour paste is that the same as sugar paste / fondant ?
    what a stoopid idea holding them over a boiling kettle
