Having Trouble Getting Marshmallow Fondant To Dry....

Sometimes when it's really humid, it doesn't dry as well. You could knead in some tylose or gum-tex, or make your bow from gumpaste. It seems like it should dry by Friday...I've never had it take that long to dry, even when I had AC troubles and it was so humid in the house that it felt like we could have wrung out the curtains.
In the oven with the light on does help - but I really can't get my MMF to dry hard either. I usually mix with 1/2 gumpaste.
The very first bow I made was in MMF and it took a week to harden. I suggest a fan. But if you are needing it very quickly then I suggest you make some gum paste and do it over. You can place it in front of a fan to help speed the drying time.

fondant takes quite a while to dry, my figurines can take weeks, you wouldn't want to put gumpaste or tylos in the cake topping but yes in the bows, ect. i put my loops on their side to keep their shape and that will work to keep them up when assembled, or if you want you bow all togeather at once put support inside the loops, even with just the fondant it can be assembled the next day
