Yes, gum paste is period - late Tudor/Elizabethan, and probably earlier
in Italy.
One comment on sculpting with marzipan - Keep in mind that it might
also have been put over an armature, that not the entire thing would
have been edible, especially if one is dealing with a large item.
Mashing marzipan (catchy song title!) onto an armature would require
less stiff marzipan.
Brandu - check Stefan's Florilegium files. My sugar paste article with
recipe should be there.
