1. A sugar paste substrate sheet configured for edible printing and having a composition comprising:
50-60% fondant by weight;
10-15% fructooligosaccharides (FOS) by weight, wherein the FOS comprises at least one of oligofructose or oligofructan; and
20-30% starch by weight;
wherein the fondant comprises sugar, a percentage of the sugar in the fondant by weight being at least 85%, wherein
the sugar includes sucrose and at least one of glucose syrup or dried glucose syrup;
wherein, through combining the fondant with 40-50% additional ingredients by weight, the additional ingredients comprising the FOS and the starch, a percentage of the sugar in the composition by weight is at least 30% lower than the percentage of the sugar in the fondant by weight; and
wherein the composition is sufficiently flexible for rolling or sheeting to create the sugar paste substrate sheet having a thickness between about 0.7 mm and about 3 mm for use in desktop printing and/or screen printing using edible ink.
