Buttercream - there are actually different types of buttercream in the market. I once read from a website that classifies it this way = meringue based buttercream, yolk based buttercream, butter based buttercream & shortening based buttercream. Each different type of buttercream makes a difference in our cake!
Fondant - is a type of frosting which main ingredients are water, sugar, glucose and etc. Fondants are commonly used to decorate wedding cakes, petite fours, cookies and as far as your imagination brings you! Three ways to use fondant - rolled fondant to cover a cake or poured fondant to decorate petite fours & cookies (poured fondant is basically melted rolled fondant) or simply mix rolled fondant + gum tragacanth to make fondant figurines.
Gum paste - also known as sugar paste. Is a pliable dough that is mixed with gum tragacanth that is often used in creating edible flowers. The texture is more pliable and it does not dry out fast; giving more time to create the masterpiece.
Edible glue - just mix gum tracaganth with room temp water. Eyeball the amount of water + gum. Make sure the texture is not too runny and it glue like texture.
Marzipan - is a sweet paste made from ground almonds. Therefore it would taste slightly different from rolled fondant and it pricier that the other sweet paste.
Edible food coloring - need i say more? I personally prefer the gel type of edible coloring. Makes food coloring so much simpler.
