Fondants and gum paste<\/strong><\/a> are two separate items that are used separately to add beautiful decoration to cakes, cupcakes and other items, however, every baker should know their proper usage. Fondant is generally used as a cover to layer the cake. There are ranges of various recipes, but most of the rolled fondants include powdered sugar, gelatin, water and glucose. Once the fondant is placed on the top of the cake, it shouldn\u2019t be kept in the refrigerator as the moist will make the fondant sticky. <\/p>\n

Apart from using it as covering for cakes, fondant has other usage as well. It can be used to cover the cake board and make beautiful decorations with much ease. Gum paste, on the other hand, is softer and more flexible. Any shape can be given to gum paste and can be given any shape to add tiny detail to your cake decoration. You can even save gum paste figures such as flowers, leaves and anything you made as keepsakes and they will stay fresh for a very long time. <\/p>\n

Gum paste is made with the similar ingredient as fondant, but the previous one is gummier which makes it flexible. You can find gum paste available to purchase from craft stores or from online vendors. If you wish to make it at home, make sure to wrap it in plastic bag and store it in an airtight container. This will last as long as two to three weeks. With these items, you can do so many fun things only you need a little practice and experience. <\/p>\n
