...THis past Monday I made a batch of ButterCream icing...stored it covered in the fridge. Tonight, Wednesday, I made some flowers. (Well they kind of look like flowers) How do I dry them - do I keep them out on the wax paper overnight or do I dry them in the fridge? Also how long will the dried flowers be good ...if I use them on a cake this Saturday will they be safe to eat? Sorry if these are silly questions....but thanks for the great site and loads of info.....
Thanks... Sara 
Sara, Welcome to CC, when I make flowers using buttercream I just store them in a container in the freezer until I need them, just be sure they are in an air tight container. Hope this helps
My wilton instructor told me that you could store buttercream flowers in an air tight container for up to six months. Not freezing. Even if you added milk when mixed with crisco and other things it is not just milk anymore it is a different food all together. But whatever you feel more comfortable with. Hope this helps!
