Ok I used Duffs wires to put fondant balls hanging from them....they looked real cool and then started to droop and droop and fall off....what am I suppose to do??? My mmf is a bit soft for some reason grrr...what do I have to do here...please help
I use gumpaste to make ball ornaments, once they harden on the wires they are pretty solid.
I have vever seen duffs wires. Do they have little loops on them to prevent the fondant from falling off?
I don't know what Duff's wires look like either but I put a tiny hook at the end of my wires, dip it in a mixture of 1 part meringue powder to one part water and shake off excess, then I put my ball into the wire. Then I let it dry on the table for an hour or so THEN hang it upside down.
Oh, I add a little gum-tex to my fondant also.
It sounds like your fondant is too soft to hold its own weight on a wire.
Hope this helps.
Yes, I messed up my fondant with too much colr I think and it was horrible to work with. I finally used gumpaste but they are so dull as you can see in the pic on my page.....what can I do to remedy that? Yes DUff wires have a loop
i would try cutting straws and inserting the wires in those. i also noticed with the wires mine fell over and this worked for me...good luck!
