I think most of your questions are answered in this file in the FOOD-SWEETS
section of my Florilegium:
sugar-paste-msg   (77K)  9/30/98    Making sugar paste sotelties.

As well as what is in this file on painting sugar-paste, some of the
info in this file in the FOOD section might also be useful:
p-fd-coloring-msg (18K)  4/13/99    Period food colorings.
