What is the difference between gumpaste and fondant? Are they really the same thing?
Answer: No. Gumpaste and fondant are not the same. Gumpaste is much stiffer and has more ingredients in it to make it stronger when it’s rolled out or stretched. Fondant is a denser material that can be used to actually cover cakes. While you can use fondant to make decorations, you don’t use gumpaste to cover cakes. Gumpaste also hardens and dries out much quicker than fondant. However, gumpaste is excellent for making flowers with delicate petals since the material is much stronger and holds up when cut into intricate patterns and shapes.
