I have never worked with Gumpaste before but I have currently decided to do so. My question is I need to make some figurines ahead of time as the next three weeks will be super hectic for me. I need to know if the gumpaste figurines will hold up that long appr. 3 weeks or should I wait to make them? Are there any tips on how to store them for maximum "freshness" lol. I'm such a newbie I would appreciate the help! Thnx in advance

Yes, they'll keep. They will keep for years as long as they're protected from damp, dust and light. To store them for three weeks I would just keep them in a box, maybe a cardboard cake box, so the dust doesn't get on them.

when I make gumpaste roses,I usually make them a month in advance because it takes me an hour to do one....I am slow....and I place them on a strofoam square and place in china cabinet....they are fine ...............

Lol I know but I used freshness for lack of a better term! Thank you ladies for the replies I'm going to go ahead and start making my figurines. Hopefully I wont have any issues and in the case that I do atleast I have this wonderful forum to refer to!
