For most fondant and gum paste work, an acrylic ball tool performs similarly to a metal one. Acrylic tools are lightweight and smooth, which works well for general sugar flower and figurine shaping. Metal tools add a bit more weight and roll more smoothly for very fine, thin petal work. Both are practical choices depending on your preference. How much fondant will I need for my cake?
