How well do gumpaste decorations hold up in the fridge?? I'm going to a holiday party at work next week and decided to bring a cheesecake. The cheesecake will be covered w/a Chocolate glaze and I had planned on doing a few fondant decorations on top (a wreath w/a bow), but then realized the fondant wouldn't do so well in the fridge. How well will gumpaste hold up if I placed the decorations on the cake the night before and put in the fridge overnight??

Does gumpaste react the same as fondant does to being put in the fridge??

I think you should be fine, but I have never tried this (I always but GP on dead last - like on site last.) I want to bump you up to see what someone else says...

I think it would be ok just for the party...but if you were planning on saving them I would not just for fear they may get some moisture when coming from the fridge to the rooms temp

It really depends on your gumpaste. IF yours wilts very easily then i wouldn't, if it does okay in humidity then it should be fine.

I have put gupaste decorations in the fridge and fondant too for that matter.

well it is for a party at work...so I won't have time in the morning before work to put any decorations on. and i bought some premade gumpaste and have only used it once....so I'm not sure how it reacts in humidity.

might go ahead and give it a try...just to see what happens.

thanks for the help.

I use Nicholas Lodge's gumpaste and I refridgerat all my cakes and a lot of them have gumpaste pieces on them...No problems!!

Gee ...I didn't even think about that!! I made gumpaste pieces last week and put on my cake last night and it has been in the fridge! Let me see if it is okay!!

Yup...it's still looks GREAT!
