Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A

Am I right in thinking the models are made out of fondant as oppose to gum paste?
Also, is the piping icing royal icing?

I haven’t watched all of the tutorial yet, I think Emma says it is just fondant but if you’re experiencing problems with stickiness you could add a little tylose enough to stiffen it slightly. She’s using royal icng in the small piping bags. All the ingredients are listed under the videp, click on the ingredients tab.
