Help! I made fondant roses 2 days ago and now today they are getting sticky and soft again? Any suggestions?
Hi there, if you used just fondant, its not going to dry hard. It will be soft. When I make my roses I use gumpaste only and that dries really hard.
I live in southern Louisiana where the humidity is always 80%+ and nothing every dries!!
I put mine in the oven (not on!) with just the oven light on. That usually does the trick.
When making fondant roses or flowers, best to use Wilton gumtex, tylose or knead together1/2 gumpaste 1/2 fondant to get them to set. I mainly use gumtex in my fondant flowers, works great. Sometimes if it is too warm or high humidity may cause them not to be hard or storing them in a warm area sealed up in a container. I've made test pattern fondant flowers April, still good, keep in dry cool place. HTH

I would use a 50/50 mixture with gumpaste. Anything 3D could benefit from this. Good luck!
I only ever use sugar florist paste for flowers now, dont know what that is anywhere else (im from the UK ) But it sets like china, fondant wont set, It may set eventually . . after mebbies days and days of drying, but chances of it keeping its nice shape are slim

What you are talking about is what the American's call gumpaste. HTH
