okay, i think i am doing my fondant cut outs wrong. in the past, i have cut them out ahead of time and set them out to dry, well, they end up looking dry and as pretty as i would like. so those of you who do fondant accents, do you make ahead and keep covered to keep them soft? i guess that makes sense, i am just not sure how other people do it.
thanks
I ususally cut as I go unless I am doing something that i need to dry and firm up a little...... of course, i usually just add gumpaste and let it dry for a little while before applying, when I need something a little firmer...
I am a procrastinator....LOL....
huh....i guess i was doing it wrong 
i guess i just find cutting as you go to be tedious and time wasting, do you have any time saving tips?
If it is some kind of tedious design that will take a lot of time, then I would probably do it ahead of time, but otherwise, for simple cut outs, I just do it as I go. I am only a hobbyist at this, so I make my cakes one day, then ice and cover with fondant the next. I usually try to leave me some time to do the decorating separately if it is time consuming. I work full time and am in school, so I have to do this in the afternoons and evenings.
