How long ahead can I make the MMF cutouts and accents for my cake. How do I store them? I have read many different things.....airtight....never airtight, etc. Also I am making my first tiered cake for my nephews first b-day. I was planning on placing my tiers on cardboard circles, but just read on another topic that from experience they don't hard up well with buttercream cakes. Any thoughts?
Jessica,
Your decorations can be made weeks ahead of time. Just be sure to store them out of direct sunlight or they will fade. I have found that pizza boxes are great for storing fondant decorations. I use cardboard circles all the time in tiered cakes, and I have never had a problem with them supporting the cake.
Good luck!
Thanks for all the help. Can wait to decorate!
I always use cardboard circles and have never had any problems. I also make my fondant decorations several days in advance.
