I have 2 days of hardening time, but no access to Gum-Tex, Gumpaste, etc. I only have my MMF and normal items in my house (plus the average cake decorating supplies). Is there ANYTHING I can do to get my MMF hard enough to make a bow? I have drying time but last time I did a bow purely of MMF every loop cracked!

HELP! HELP!

Thank you!!!!!!!

hey! Cute name! icon_wink.gif In my experience, MMF takes longer to dry than regular fondant or gumpaste, and varies based on the humidity. Are you near the beach? Seems to take longer w/ the salt air!

Here is an old link for using Fixodent in MMF to dry hard. Sounds strange, I know. I haven't tried it, but there are a few posts on CC about it!
