I used MMF for the first time the other day and really liked it! I want to know more about it if anyone can help...How long can you store it? Can you make decorations with it like the Wilton fondant - a bow, for instance. I wasn't sure if it would dry hard enough. Any other tips/knowledge you can share would be appreciated!

You can store it for months if stored properly. Rub a little bit of crisco on it then wrap tightly in plastic wrap then put in a zip top bag. When you go to use it next, you may have to microwave the portion for a few seconds (like 5- for it to get squeezable and kneedable.

You can add color at the beginning while your mixing it or a portion at a time.

Yes you can make decorations out of it just like with the wilton fondant except this will never set really hard unless you add gumtext or tylose to it. It will set enough to hold most shapes depending on the thickness.

Think play-doh and experiment away! Have fun with it and remember it is only marshmellows!!

I just posted a Tiffany Box cake pic - the bow and ribbon on there are MMF - I made the bow and the name tag a few days ahead of time and they dried hard just fine. I did the ribbons the day I made the cake so they would be flexible. I used part of broom handle wrapped with saran wrap and "hung" the bow parts so they would hold their shape while drying. The name tag I put on a flat pan with a paper towel underneath the piece of fondant.

I have made the MMF up, wrapped it in saran wrap and then put that in a recloseable ziploc bag and it has been fine like that for weeks. I just cut off what I want to use and stick it in the microwave for a few seconds to soften it back up. (it will seem like it is hard as a rock when it is stored!)
