dentures...

i've made teeth but not dentures i don't think

but i think making the pink part fondant and the tooth part marzipan

might show a subtle but interesting texture change to lend authenticity

marzipan is so matte

and you can get a nice shine on the stiffened fondant

well maybe the tooth part should be shiny too

but i was just thinking the surface of a tooth has a bit of texture on it anyway

but i love to model with marzipan and eating up the booboos is not a problem either

come to think of it, i made piano keys out of the marzipan and those are called 'ivories"

so should work fine as teeth i think

(any excuse to make it--it's irresistible)

you can rub it with alcohol, lemon extract or vodka

or you can get some white edible glitter -- its very light and looks like the flakes would blow away

this is gum arabic--sold at michael's type stores

dissolve some in water and brush it on for super shine (does not dissolve in alcohol)

i haven't tested it on marzipan per se

no reason why it would not work on it though

i just saw a denture chocolate mold on tomric for what it's worth

oh they are awesome!!!!!!

what a hoot!!!!

fantastic--making me laugh this morning--so toothy!!!

can you dry them apart

do you have to stack them up to dry

are they make in two pieces??

can you prop it up with paper towels or something???

or set it in a cup or bowl or something

or on a plate that has a rim that will help hold things

and not let them sink???

can you dry them upside down or somthing???

you did a great job

your mom's gonna love this!!!!

or put a layer of paper towel and aluminum foil around them

make a mold of the foil that will hold them up till they dry

i dry stuff in my warming drawer in my oven but this would melt in there

too complicated for extra heat

should air dry fine

hope you added something (like tylose or cornstarch) to the fondant to help it dry crispier???

no heat

heat meltifies it

then it does dry harder

only use heat if you can control the shape

like if it was a ribbon loop for a bow you could lay it on it's edge/side to prevent it from mis-shaping/collapsing

but yours is so 3-dimensional

it's fine right now

it will be fine for the cake

  cow teeth!!!

she's gonna kill you and love it!!!!

~~~no matter how it dries it will be great since it's for comedic effect anyhow~~

fan probably would be ok--depends on how loose it is

don't wanna blow them out of shape either

probably fine to use a fan

toothpicks sound good

or maybe dry noodles

do you have wee ones or larger built but wee in the head ones that will want to bite/eat them when you're not looking?
