Fondant Drying And Alot Of Moisture In The Air.
Decorating By shanasweets Updated 27 Jun 2007 , 3:52am by psurrette
Ok, I have tried making a fondant bow before and it fell, never dried. It was 50/50 fondant gumpaste (wilton package).
So up for trying again, I made loops, (used wilton fondant but this time kneaded in powder gumtext, liberally) placed on dow for 5 days, took off dow and placed sideways on cardboard. It has been 7 days, I lost a couple of the loops that fell down already and crumbled. Still have several but they are not firm. they don't seem to be drying out at all.
I live in Oklahoma, and it has been raining, or acting like it might for almost 2 weeks now. I am trying to make this for July 4th cake, so I still have a little time. But what can I do.
I was wondering if I put in oven with light on, would they dry hard enough, I could put in rubber maid container. Do I put loops in apart or make bow and put bow in containor. Would this keep the humidity and moisture out.
I did dry previous bow in oven, but it collapsed by being out overnight. And it wasn't raining as much then.
Is there any hope, even my cut out stars and curly ques are still feeling moist?
I NEED HELP!!!!
I can feel your frustration through my screen!! 
I've heard about the oven light method. What about if you put your loops on a piece of parchment paper and then into the oven?
I've only had problems with fondant bow loops one time and it was because of the humidity outside and I had the windows open - dah!!! But it was only 70 and it was also in March!
From now on though, I put the A/C on if I'm doing fondant work.
Good Luck! Hope others here can help with more suggestions!
