I just though to share a tip.

I like to use my left over fondant to make extra flowers, they come in handy when I have a last minute cake to do.

But my problem was where do I put them to dry. I didn't want to spend money on those fancy flowers holders from Wilton's so I came with the idea to save the bottom of my eggs carton. They are perfect! and the flowers dry with a natural shape.

I hope this helps some of you,

I also do that to ... the only step I do different is I cover it with plastic wrap and dust lightly with cornstarch

yep i agree thats a good idea....I also cover them in wrap because I remeber the big fuss over the fact that they may cross-contaminate because of the eggs

To make a shallower flower (not so rounded) I cut squares of tin foil and used the medium lily nail to make the cup and then dried them in the egg carton.

You can also save several (I think I use 4 or 5) of the 18ct egg cartons. Then start shopping at Costco BJ's or Sams which ever you have a membership for and get the eggs in bulk. I get mine 7.5 dozen (yes that is approx 96 eggs give or take a few if I drop them!) saves me a whole lot of money!

I save my egg cartons to give to friends who have chickens!

LOL, Littlelinda, i'm cracking up!
