Sure, you can make flowers out of fondant, gumpaste, modeling chocolate, or buttercream; which material is best to use depends on what you want to do with the flowers after you make them, how long you want them to last, how hard you need them to be, etc. You can get a ton of information on each of the above mediums at CakeCentral.com, as well as countless other websites. Cakesbydesign.cc (Not .com) is a great place for supplies and info. If you do a search on fondant or gumpaste flowers, you'll get more info than you ever wanted! :)
store bought fondant is not as good as it looks. what i think is that homemade fondant is by far the best. bakers usually put butter cream to make it taste better. hope this helped.
