I was supposed to make MFF last night and completely ran out of time. I need to cover a cake by tonight. On the recipe it states to let it rest at least 1 day -- so my question is:

Has anyone made it and used it shortly after? Did you notice a big difference in the texture/workability.

Thanks guys!

I have made MMF and used immeditately. Did not have any issues or wished I would've waited...and also not an experienced fondant user.

I've actually never let mine rest for a whole day lol, so I can't really compare but I haven't had any noticeable problems with using it same day. Hope that helps.

Let it cool to room temp and you should be fine.

Michelle Foster says that it needs to rest at least 6-8 hours, not 24 like the recipe states. I haven't had a chance to make it yet, so I can't say I've tried it... Good luck though icon_smile.gif

I usually only let mine rest 30 minutes. My recipe only calls for mm's and powdered sugar, so it may be different from M. Foster's.

Has worked fine for me!

Wow thanks for all the responses icon_smile.gif

One more question.. do you know how much it makes? I'm covering a 9inch and a 6 inch cake w/it.

Thanks again all!

When I make MFF, it tends to be a little soft right after making it, but I still have to add more PS, so it wouldn't make a difference I guess!! HTH!!

gerripje-- I'm glad you said that. Mine is SUPER soft.. and i've added almost 4 pounds opposed to the 3.5. I'm hoping it firms up a bit!

If you have 2 bags of MM ad 2 bags f sugar you'll have more than enouh!
I actually made another cake today and didn't let he MMF rest at all, and I put it on a frozen cake. It did great!!

myhannahbananas: welcome to the forums! Thanks for the tip but I'm using Michele Fosters Fondant, opposed to Marshmallow Fondant... and it's WAY too soft right now to say the least icon_sad.gif
