Have you tried sprinkling (dusting, rubbing a little) powdered sugar on top? I've done it when mine is too sticky.

If you're finished with it--no worries just don't touch it.

I agree with K8, just don't touch it. I got a few raindrops on a cake once, and I remembered reading something on here about leaving it alone, so I did (as tempted as I was to dab with a papertowel) and it dried on it's own.

If it's real wet you could put a small fan blowing on it on low speed.....that should dry it for you. (or a blow dryer on cool setting)

Next time....no water. Period. Alcohol, extracts, anything but water. You have to use something that will evaporate with quickness.

And that too. And ya know, icon_redface.gif I take that back, I use a dab of water to stick stuff on with all the time. (I think I had painting on fondant, on the brain or something). But anyways, yeah, teeny amounts of water...miniscule amounts of water.

Yeah, I actually take a small paintbrush and apply the water to the piece I'm sticking on....I don't wet the cake itself.

Me too! I'm going to get one of those water pens next time I remember to remember that I want one. icon_lol.gif
