Any body help with this problem?

How long ahead of use can I make marzipan figures. I have a birthday cake to make for middle of August but need to make it this weekend. Will it be ok if I store it properly and what is the best way to do this.

Thanks

You can make marzipane figures way ahaid. Just take the experation date of your marzipane. It will hardly get any firmer or dry out. Store it covered so it won'tt any dust. Wrapped with soft plastic foil ( I don't know the name) if you want to be sure it won't dry out.

Only just saw your reply, sorry.

Thank you for your help. I have found a great way to cover my figure to keep the dust away and so as not to squash it - I covered it with a glass tumbler

Many thanks.
