Anyone have any suggestions on what is easiest for 1st timers to use fondant or gumpaste i am wanting to try and make a baby for a babyshower cake and also when should you make these things for a cake (how far in advance can you make bows and such) Thank's for any advice
If you are making fondant (like mmf) you can make it anytime and just make sure it is sealed up well in saran wrap. Just microwave it a few seconds before you want to use. It will warm it up just enough to make it easier to work with. You can (and should) make bows or anything you want firm on the cake ahead of time. If you just a gumpaste or a mix of fondant and gumpaste it will dry much quicker than fondant alone. (still leave yourself a day or two for them to dry enough to hold shape.) Anything than will just be laid on the cake, like dots, stripe ect. can just be done at the time you are covering the cake.
Thank you for the advise I think I am going to try and tackle making mmf today, I have never worked with Fondent due to the taste but since i have joined this site i think i will try the MMF. Wish me well
