Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A

Sugar paste is used for covering cakes and gum paste is stronger and can be rolled out thinly to make flowers. Gum paste can also be mixed 50/50 with sugar paste to make modelling paste for making models to put on cakes.

Thank you so much Tom! No wonder my cake covered with gum paste wasn’t look so nice, especially the edge ,looks dry, I will buy some sugar paste tomorrow to try out !
