Shelf Life Of Marshmallow Fondant
Decorating By letsgetcaking Updated 15 Oct 2009 , 2:53pm by letsgetcaking
Okay, I was pretty sure I knew this, but now I'm concerned. I thought I'd read somewhere on here that you could store homemade MMF at room temperature for long periods of time, as long as it was wrapped tightly in a couple layers of plastic wrap and then stored in a ziplock bag. So, that's what I planned to do. I made the fondant late Monday night and wanted to use it on cookies for Friday night (five days later). This morning I ran across something online that said you can store it for weeks in the refrigerator. Now I can't find anything saying how long (or even if) it can be stored outside of the refrigerator. I'm panicking a little because I won't have transportation before the party to purchase more ingredients. Should I throw out the fondant and just make royal icing, or is it okay to use? Any help you can give me would be appreciated.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, both ddaigle and mama_amy! This is wonderful news!
I have a second question now, if you don't mind. I used Rhonda's MMF (which includes real lemon juice). Will that make a difference? Thanks again.
