I am doing a show on Sunday, and I need to do a faux cake to go with my display. Is there a fondant recipe out there to make a fondant that dries really hard? I use the marshmallow fondant all the time, but I don't think it'll be as hard as I'd like. I need something to dry as hard as the Wilton fondant does. Any suggestions?
Gumpaste dries extremely hard. I don't know what size cake you are planning on doing but Wilton has a premade gumpaste that you could use. Here in my area it is $7.00-8.00 per bag. You can also make homemade gumpaste. Here is a link to a recipe.

Hope this helps.

why not just use the wilton fondant, its cheap with a coupon and it doesn't have to taste good on a display cake.
