This is a traditional modelling paste made from sugar but with the addition of edible gum like Gum Tragacanth, .C.M.C.or Tylose.

There are also many named or brand names that it may be known as Gum Paste, Petal Paste or Sugar Florist Paste. This paste has been developed so that it can be rolled out finely and dry hard, making it suitable for sugar flowers, high detailed moulds and top decorations.

Sugar flowers are an extremely popular feature of many cakes especially for weddings enabling the sugar artist and cake decorator to hand craft both simple and highly detailed flowers and leaves.




This is a product out of the UK there is a few places that you can get it in the states... When I get back this afternoon I will search it out for you as to where to buy it and link it for ya..

NO they are two different things... Royal icing is for making roses with a rose tip...

Petal Flower is the molding paste that your talking about with Debbie Brown .... This product is made in the UK... This is what the product looks like ... right now I tossed all of my old books and have new ones coming so to tell ya where for sures in the states you can get it I cant right now.. but maybe seeing what I am talking about you will be able to find it .. it also comes in just a powder that you add water to to make your own.. lots cheaper... http://www.cakecraftshop.co.uk/shop/8/108/

Any of the top four is the stuff pre made....
