Will MMF harden like a regular fondant I am wanting to use it to make a rainbow for my daughters carebear cake for the weekend and I do not want a floppy rainbow. Will this work?

If you make it no more than 1/4" thick (and you make it today it should be hard enough to use by the weekend. MMF will harden, but it takes longer thsn regular fondant, depending on the humidity where you live.

meme, you might want to try gumpaste instead. It hardens quickly. Is this a "stand-up" rainbow? I've had problems w/ MMF not hardening in time. OF course if depends onthe humidity where you live. There is a flip flop cake in my photos that were supposed to stand up, but after a week, they still hadn't hardened.

I am considering a cookie, I had already thought about that or maybe royal icing do you think that would work too? I am in the process of making clouds right now my MMF seems to be dring out?

If it dries out, you can add a little crisco to save it.
