Vacuum Sealing Leftover Fondant And Gum Paste
Decorating By PennySue Updated 28 May 2009 , 8:26pm by dutchy1971
i have one and never tried it with my fondant or gum paste. it's designed to keep frost and air out. i wrap mine in saran wrap but sometimes a bit won't get covered and dries out. my meats i put in a freezer bag with original packaging and it still get's in so i would use it. think i'll get mine out Thanks
I have been storing leftover fondant and gumpaste for several years now. I use the FoodSaver vacuum system and I can cut the bags to the size I need and seal it up and put it away - usually in a left over SI bucket. I also have several canisters that I can vacuum seal as well and I have successfully stored fondant with no problems.
If I have a large amount left over, I make the bag a little larger than normal so that I can cut it open, take out what I need and then reseal it.
Works like a charm!!!

I have. It works great, since it sucks out the air, which is what causes the problems. I still rolled mine in logs or balls and coated them in crisco. I had some that was vacuum sealed that was still soft 6 months later.
I have been sealing mine with no problems. I also use the FoodSaver system when I am at home.
When I am teaching a fondant class, I use the portable sealer that you can find in the zip lock bag isle at the grocery store. It cost about $10 and I bought the special bags to use with it. It works really well also, and the bags are reusable.
I haven't had a problem with the fondant drying out using both systems.
I use the ziploc system that works with a little hand pump. It works great for sealing the fondant well and is cheaper than the vacuum kind.
what a great idea, never thought of using my food saver for that. Think I'll be getting it out when I get home lol.
great tip thanks
