I tried doing a search on this, so sorry if it has been asked and answered. I just couldn't find what I am looking for...

Anyhow, I am making a Snoopy with color flow. I made it yesterday early evening (Friday), and the cake is due tomorrow afternoon.

What is the absolute minimum time for this to dry so I can put it on the cake? Ideally I would like to have the cake finished tomorrow morning before we leave for church. Or should I wait until afternoon to be safe?

I have it under a lamp to help the drying process speed up.

I'd appreciate any advice from those of you who do these!
Thanks so much.

It will probably depend on how big your snoopy is. I know that it can take quite a while. Having it under the lamp will really help a lot though!

Thanks for your reply. The Snoopy is big enough to fit on a 10" cake, covering a good portion of the cake. But he is not terribly thick.

Thank you again! Anybody else?

If it's going on a b'cream cake I';d wait until just b efore pickup....since you say he's not thick it might begin to soften or bleed.
