Can I use gum Arabic to make flower paste?

Hello seamog

Gum Arabic is a thickener much the same as gum tragacanth, tylose and CMC powder.
Try using 1 teaspoon to 250g of fondant, knead it in well and let it rest for 24hrs before using.
Once made wrap it up in cling film and place in an airtight container or ziplock bag. Always keep paste covered up when not in use.

Thanks, that’s really helpful.
