It really just depends on what you are using it for. I have tried multiple types of premade gum paste for flower making and none of them worked very well for me. I make fresh gum paste using the Nicolas Lodge recipe for flowers and that is my favorite. It stays flexible enough to work with for hours between 2 sheets of plastic. For sculpture work, I make my own modeling chocolate because that blends the best for me. And for generic fondant work I use premade Wilton fondant. That brand is my favorite because it is resistant to elephant skin and doesn’t dry out fast.
