Can you add liquid flavoring to it, such as lemon or vanilla extract, or oil base flavoring?
Yes, you can add flavorings to gumpaste and fondant. However I recommend using concentrated flavorings so that you are not adding much additional moisture.
If you add to much liquid, the paste will become sticky and hard to work with.

What is the Major Differences Between Gum Paste and Fondant?
Hi Beth.N,
The major differences between gumpaste and fondant is that Gumpaste will harden and stay in shape which therefor is typaclly used by decorators for flowers & characters and making figures and Fondant would not harden (at least not fast) which is why it's used by cake decoratorsmainly to cover cakes etc...
Another difference in the 2 is that Fondant has a sweet taste and Gumpaste is not that very tasty (which can also be the reason why fondant is made to cover cakes and Gumpaste onlyu for shapes)
