I'm doing a zebra birthday cake for this weekend. Black zebra stripes will be fondant placed on buttercream cake. What's the best way to do these ahead of time and store them so that they are still pliable on Thursday night when I want to assemble the cake? I took time last night to roll and cut the stripes and placed them in ziplock bags. This am, the fondant was all stuck together and somewhat melted! Maybe I had too many in the bag on top of each other????
BUMP!!
Bumping you cause I have only made fondant pieces ahead of time that needed to be dry. I have not make pieces I needed flexible ahead of time. Jen
I will cut my pieces and wrap each of them gently in plastic wrap getting as much air out without marking the fondant and then store in a tupperware container or anyother large flat sealed container. I usually cut mine the day I will be assembling the cake......and have had no problems..
good luck.....
i do the same w/my premade fondant shapes. in tupperware container.
btw - what do you use to cut the shape of the stripes or do you do it freehand.
I have used the Glad Press 'n Seal and then put that into another airtight container and had flexible pieces almost a week later.
