How Long Will Mmf Stay Pliable In An Airtight Container?
Decorating By rhesp1212 Updated 8 Sep 2007 , 8:15pm by Sierratreasures
I have to make a whole bunch of Mickey mouse faces for cupcakes this week. I was hoping to make the faces ahead of time and then just place them on the cupcakes at the last minute. If I roll out MMF and cut them out, how long will they stay soft and pliable in an airtight container??? I don't want them to dry out and crack when I put them on the cupcakes and waste all of my hard work!
THANKS in advance!

I would recommend putting handywrap (saran wrap) over each one of the faces. It helps seal each one. I did a ribbon to wrap around a cake this way. Rolled it out and wrapped handywrap around it. The fondant was still very pliable 24 hours later with no cracking. The more air you can keep away from the pieces the better.
Just one quick hint - be careful not to press the saran wrap into the pieces - the wrinkles in the saran wrap will leave marks - just like an impression mat. Try to keep the saran wrap as smooth as possible.
