I just finished my first fondant cake last night, a square box w/fondant bow. I used MMF, and my bow, even after letting it stay unboxed overnight, but bow won't stay up on its own. How can I prevent this in the future? Should I use the Wilton Fondant for things like this in the future?
Thank you so much

You might add some gumpaste to your MMF next time. I usually do a 50/50 mix when doing things like that. The Wilton Fondant does dry better than the MMF too. Sorry I am not much help!!

Did you add some Gum Tex. Are the classes you are taking Wilton classes. In the Wilton classes i took (can't remember if it was 3 or 4) we used Gum Tex. To me the Gun Tex cut the drying time in over half the normal time. Also after we put the bow together we put a rolled up paper towel between the loops. Another trick you may can try, i put my fondant/gumpaste piece under a small oscillating over night.
Goodluck,
