Does anyone how how long in advance I could make little fondant decorations such as little shoes, bag handles, buckles ect??? How long do they last??

Thanks

I usually make things a week in advance and store them in a shoe box. DO NOT store in an airtight container!. I believe fondant is like gumpaste and will last indefinately. I guess it depends on the type of fondant you are using. Commercially packaged fondant sits of a shelf in a cake store etc. like forever with out a problem. Are you planning on having these decorations eaten? Do you need them to be stiff or do you want to keep them soft for sculpting purposes?

yea they will be eaten its little shoes for arond the cake and a handle for on a bag cake

You could probably make them a week in advance and they'd be just fine! That's usually what I do...

I would say just go 1-2 weeks in advance. One week if possible. Store in a shoe box or tin. They will stiffen up. This will not effect the taste. When you go to place them use a little frosting if placing on buttercream or a little edible glue (water or water with tylose added) if placing on fondant. This works for me and I have never had a problem I believe I have a ninja turtle cake on here if you check out my profile you can see the results of making ahead.

I've made fondant decorations weeks, even a month in advance, with no issues at all. I usually store them in an airtight container when I'm making them quite awhile ahead of time. They still taste fine (if you like fondant) and hold up well. The color softens a little with time so you will probably want to make the pieces a little stronger color than you require.

I'd make them a week in advance and store it in some type of unused clean box. The shoe box just sounds a little unsanitary in "my opinion" -- even if the shoe wasn't used. People try it out at stores you know.

Oh ! I guess I did not mention I line my shoe box with tissue paper.
