AHi. I'm new to all this, including cake decorating. I have so much to do with not only Mother's Day coming up but also a best friends birthday. I want to decorate my mom's cake with candy curls. Can I make them a day or 2 ahead?

You can make them a month ahead!  Just put them in an airtight container and they will be fine.  If your kitchen is warm then you could put them in the fridge.

AThanks Annie you have just taken a load of stress off my shoulders.

Good luck with your cakes!

AThanks
