(A member at Flickr posted pics of her pieces literally melting from the humidity...she was using gumpaste & fondant mixed...I've never had that happen either).



** great advice, I never would have thought of that until it was to late. just beginning my journey into modeling. Thanks!

Sure...and thanks for the nice comments regarding my cakes....

 

For modeling:

10.5oz KRAFT mini marshmallows (no substitutions)
1/2 cup Crisco
5 cups Powdered Sugar (Any brand but Wal-Mart's Great Value)

For cakes, add:

Flavorings of your choice (I usually use vanilla, almond, & Magic Line's creme bouquet)
