....get fondant to dry faster??? I need to use fondant to make a rainbow that I can stand up between 2 round cakes. Is there still time enough to do that and have it dry in time???? I was going to put it together in the morning and I need to put it between the cakes about 24 hours later. TIA!!!!

Anyone???

If you have any gumtex, I know that helps it to dry quicker...otherwise, I am not sure-Sorry!

sit it in your oven (switched off) and put the fan on... if it has a fan....
sit it in the sun
use a hairdryer -- at a safe distance
ummm.... lost now

Set it in front of a fan all night & all day. That seems to help but sometimes that stuff just refuses to be rushed!

Are you using Wilton fondant or homemade MMF? Wilton definitely dries faster.

I was just going to use wilton because I just need a little and don't really have time to make the mmf. Although I will be making a batch on sun but that will be to late for this.

I'd put it in front of a fan. Did that the other night - just make sure the fan is clean of dust figured that out the other night too.

You guys have got to start working with gumpaste instead of fondant. You can roll in thinner, it dries faster and is much stronger. I use it for plaques, bows, and stars, aside from flowers. It's so much safer than fondant for this kind of item.

Thanks everyone!!!

How about using chocolate? That will set up in no time, you will just have to make sure it's thick enough not to chip.

Put it in the oven on an upper rack (right near the top) on a cookie sheet, and turn the light, not the oven, on. Leave up to 48 hours. The heat from the light is more than enough to dry it. That's how I did my colorflow monograms a couple weeks ago.

Another option is if you have a food dehydrator you can use that. Works like a charm!

...yep, I've used a fan overnight....
