I prefer using …
I prefer using sugar glass (a type of sugar made to look and feel like glass when it’s dried. Sounds like porcelain if you drop it or they tap against eachother. Gum paste is tempermental, and fondit is not preferred unless you know how to make it taste right.

You can try with fondant, but i dont think youll get the same effect. Gumpaste is alot firmer, stretchier than fondant, and drys rock hard, which is perfect for flower type decorations. Ive used both, fondant is ALOT harder to work with, so if your a beginner, your best of using gumpaste or petal / mexican paste for this sort of thing.

I think icing roses look cheap. Any you can paint these flowers to make them look more realistic. If you’re good at making gum paste flowers, they look really beautiful, not like grocery store flowers on a cake.

No it’s not. Fondant can be edible after you decorate a cake with it wich is not the same with gum paste. It dryes out rock hard, it’s still “edible” but you’ll break your teeth if you decide to try it
