I'm making a Stay Puft Marshmallow man figure for my brothers cake. How far in advance can I make him? The party is on the 12th December which is also my son's 1st birthday. So I'm going to be pretty busy.

Could I make it a few days before and then stand him on the cake board just before serving the cake?

Thank you.

Hi, I always make my figures a week inadvance. Its not only fondant that I use. Its CMC/ Tylose mixed in to fondant.

Thanks. I'll make it this weekend then. I've got some cmc to mix with it. I just hope it looks good.
