sugar paste
Edible modeling medium
Sugar paste is a pliable dough made from powdered sugar, used primarily for decorating cakes and confections.
It can be rolled thin and draped over cakes for a smooth finish, or molded into flowers, figures, and other decorative elements.
Also called fondant or gum paste, though gum paste dries harder and is preferred for delicate sculptural work.
