You might get a better response if you describe what "sugar paste" is
and might be used for.

I was thinking maybe they are looking for fondant?

Well, he's probably not that interested in an answer from someone who
doesn't know what it is.

Commonly known as pastillage in the US, it dries very hard
so it's used for more intricate modeling work. For decorative
use only and generally considered inedible.

Pastillage

Source: "Modern French Pastry" by Yves Thuries

1000 g confectioners sugar
200 g corn starch
50 g tragacanth gum
200 g warm water

Combine first 3 ingredients. Gradually add warm water. The pastillage
should feel firm but malleable so it can be cut, shaped and molded
without feeling crumbly or sticky.

Can be prepared by hand or with a mixer using a dough hook.
