Speedy Drying Method For Fondant?
Decorating By peasacake Updated 15 Dec 2006 , 12:59am by stephanie214
It's Monday night and I just got a cake for Thursday afternoon I want to place a few bows on. I just made them and am worried they won't dry in time. I would like to complete the cake wed. night. My husband suggested placing them in a low oven, but I don't know. Any advice? Thanks!!!
Don't put them in the oven! I tried that once and it all melted flat!
They should be fine by Wednesday, have some extra loops in case a few break, but you should be fine.
They should be fine in 24 hours....I always do mine the day before and no problems.
Food dehydrator or oven set on "warm" settting.
I'm curious if you have ever actually done this with fondant, personally.
Maybe it's different, but I tried both the food dehydrator and the oven set on warm to try to dry MMF, and in both cases it made the MMF softer and it was a disaster.
Am I missing something or is it just that it doesn't work with MMF and only "real" fondant?
Adding some Fixodent (for dentures) powder will dry MMF faster and makes it harder

Gumpaste dries beautifull in the oven, but aparently mmf just turns into a mess.
Stephanie214, wouldn't adding fixadent make the MMF inedible? Just curious about that.
I don't think that anyone eats the fondant decorations but if they would, it is safe since it is used as an adhesive for dentures.
