I got a little over zealous and made a witch's hat out of fondant for a cake I need to take to work tomorrow for a coworker's party. How can I get the fondant to dry quick enough that it won't collapse or break when I put it on the cake? I am going to put it on the fence post like its hanging there.

Thanks!

Give it a good dusting of cornstrach.

Yup .. cornstarch or if you tylose, add that to your fondant .. it will make it dry faster and harder .. good luck!

I agree, tylose if you have it will work get to get it to dry faster, that and maybe a little bit of a breeze to help the drying out process. I find that if the ceiling fan over the kitchen table is spinning while I'm working with fondant that the fondant always drys faster (sometimes too fast)

I just have the ceiling fan on because of my flashing and it dries hard enough to handle the next day.

Thanks for the replies. I left it on the counter rather than putting it on the cake last night. I added some support with some clear packing tape doubled up on itself when I added it to the take. I just didn't want the brim to fall. Looks good. I'll post some pictures tonight.

kool!!!
