How far in advance can i make fondant accents, and how should i keep them from drying?

i want to make a border using varying ball sizes and wanted to make them today.. i dont want them to harden though (or would it be ok?)

thanks!

I little hard does make them easier to place and move around bc they will hold the shape for you. When is the cake due?
Have you seen this tutorial? This is a GREAT tutorial

It's usually a good idea to make accents like the balls, in advance. This way they will hold their shape when you put them on your cake. Today's a good day to make them.

I have made lots of fondant accents in advance. If I want them a bit harder, I leave them out to air dry for a few days. If I want them not too hard, I cover them in saran and put in an airtight container (if they will fit into one) until I need to use them.

wow! what great tips for making accents. thanks for posting.
