Could anyone tell me about these two recipes?

I am making some small decorations and fondant baby shoes.

Will these two recipes hold well and dry hard?

How long needed to dry to hold shape on their own?

This is my first time making any homemade fondant.

Any tips or a better no fail recipe would be greatly appreciated. icon_smile.gif

This cake is due Saturday morning.

Thank you so much.

the MMF won't dry REALLY hard, but if you mix up some gumpaste and mix 50/50 gumpaste and MMF it will set up much quicker and will be very hard overnight and very sturdy as well

I really hate to spend more money for ingredients to make the gumpaste.

I do have some gumtex. Would that work if I add that to the MMF?

Thanks

adding a bit of gumtex should work
