Does anyone have any ideas for drying fondant very fast??? I need to make a red bow for the top of cake that is due tomorrow, i just got the order today and when I mix the red fondant with gumpaste it changes the color, so is there a way to dry fondant very fast so that my loops on my bow dont flatten, there are a lot of loops to it, any help would be great
If you have access to Tylose powder you can mix that in with your red fondant. It won't change the color but it give is more the consistency of gum paste. It also dries faster than plain fondant.
Is there a way for you to make the bow and use supports until it dries? Trying making the bow loops and putting a glass or something similar inside. And then piece it together on the top of the cake after it's dried.
I knead cornstarch into my fondant and set my loops on their side and I use the warming drawer in my oven --it doesn't get over 150 degrees on medium. I don't touch them while they are warm--I like to do two 2-hour warming drawer sessions with a cool down to room temp in between.
I've used gumtex (1tsp per 1lb of fondant) and put my pieces in the oven with just the light on over night. I would say just make sure it is rolled out thin, so it won't take too long to dry.
Good Luck!
It doesn't melt when the oven is on?? Huh!
It can melt if oven is too hot--150 160 degrees is the max.

Good to know! Thanks!
try using a hairdryer on low....do a section, let it cool down, then do another section. Be careful you don't heat it up too much. I use the cool setting on my dryer
I have done this, too. It works great!
Don't forget to let it cool off completely before touching or moving the piece.
