I used fondant to make the baby converse all stars, the basketballs and the sleeping bear on the baby shower cake I posted yesterday. It's in my photos.
I made the shoes a week before, the balls 4 days before and the bear 2 days before the baby shower. I didn't expect anyone to eat them, but I guess they could! 
they always eat my animals i use maded out of anything couriosidy gets the best of them lol,lol..some will like it and some wont. good luck with them..
they can be eaten hard but i think that most people (not kids they will eat anything!) would not even want to. i have had people save some of their hardened decorations as keepsakes. if the fondant decorations are attached to a cake iced in buttercream most people just cut the cake with them on and gobble them up without a second thought. don't know if that helped any but that has been my experience.
Yes, I too would think they would not eat them and I always tell everyone that I use a fondant/gumpaste mixture so it is edible but does not really taste that good - yet I have been amazed at the number of people who eat my figures! So now I have to let them know when I have used raw sphagetti noodles as support (especially since my friends husband ate one and crunched up the spaghetti!) So yes.....some people will eat anything!!
I'm really happy with it. I just wanted to say though, that I used MMF and Pettenice for the decorations that that cake, not gumpaste.Quote by @%username% on %date%
