They are all fondant, but I am going to be experimenting with modeling chocolate next. It was my ambition to see how thin I could get the fondant leaves (for a natural look). I've not used gumpaste (either) can you tell me it's attributes? 

And thanks for the interest and kind words!

Gumpaste is like fondant except that you are able to roll it out much thinner than fondant to give it a more delicate look and it also dries hard.

I think I had heard it dries hard and was concerned it would not be the best match for a cookie (eating I mean). So the black-eyed susans are pretty think (I hadn't perfected getting them thin). The cherry blossoms I found a technique that worked to get the petals thin. I use a baggie to mix the color of the fondant then I found if I pinched the fondant (still in the baggie), I could get it extremely thin, w/o my fingers sticking and then just worked with it carefully.
