decorations out of fondant? I need to make 48 cupcakes and have to make rolling pins, wooden spoons, oven mitts etc. out of fondant, I can't find these items in stores. I was wondering because I have tons to make how early can I make them? I don't think she would want to eat them, but I would love to have these made up before the cupcakes are made, these are due April 14th. HELP!

I've made fondant decorations weeks ahead of time and they were fine. They don't spoil, but they may fade and get hard if you keep them by sunlight.
Good Luck!

Hi Darlene, those little items are a very common decoration for Mexican bridal showers, the reason I tell you this is, and depending on where you are you might be able to find them in a Latin and or Mexican item store. Hope this helps. As for fondant it dries up in about 3-4 days at least that is my experience.
That sounds really cute!!! I imagine I would start a fortnight before. I don't see a problem with eating them either.
They will be fine made weeks in advance! You can start now if you want. Once they are made, let them dry in the open air for a day or two and then store in containers until needed. I always have little fondant flowers ready for cupcake cakes etc - I have some that I made around Christmas time and they are still fine. Good luck!
I have made fondant pieces weeks ahead of time and stored them in a shoebox, just setting them on a piece of waxed paper. For colors, I usually color the the fondant with gel colors by kneading it in. But, you can take the gel colors and paint with them too. Some paint the straight color and some paint with the gel colors mixed with alcohol(vodka, or even lemon extract). I have seen pieces painted with petal dusts and vodka, and they were real pretty=) Not sure if that is what you meant with "edible paints". If not, this will bring your post up to the top and someone else can answer it=) HTH some, Jen
