It depends what the gum paste is made of.

Technically, it's edible, but it tastes disgusting and dries rock hard. You're better off saving a gum paste flower or figure in your china cabinet as a memory of the special occasion.

Gum paste is similar to fondant except it contains an extra ingredient to make the fondant harden. Gum paste is great for making sugar flowers and figures for cakes.
