Okay, I don't know if this has been asked and answered before, but how do you store your gum paste/fondant flowers. I really like working with it, now that I have taken the class. So I want to make some up for a wedding that I have in a couple of months. How do I store them without having them break? Any suggestions?
The way *I* have heard to store, is to place them in a box, cushioned with tissue and/or bubble wrap and keep in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight. I think they keep pretty much indefinately. HTH.
Thank you for the suggestions. I'm headed downstairs to find a box to use. Someone told me of filling a plastic bin with cornstarch. But I was wondering if that would be too hard, to have to brush it off when ya want to use them flowers.
I wouldn't use cornstarch, they really don't need it. If your home has a lot of humidity you could sprinkle in some Silica Gel powder but for most you can just do what Crisseyann suggested. I wouldn't store them in a soft plastic container like Tupperware or Gladware, they seem to make things sweat or absorb moisture. Just a shoe box with the bubble wrap or thin foam rubber works well for me. I keep them in a closet or the pantry and I think they would keep for years if they are protected from light and dust.
