How To Dry Faster Sugarpaste (Fondan, Icing)
Decorating By maggylafa Updated 3 Feb 2011 , 1:32am by leafO
Or gum tragacanth powder mixed into the fondant works well too.
If I want to hurry the drying along I'll sometimes put things in my oven with just the fan on (no heat) for a few hours. Or I might heat the oven to only just warm (lowest possible heat), then as I put the items in I'll switch off the heat and just leave the fan on.
Thank you, in Greece there are not many materials and dust, might prefer the oven.
Thank you very much
I leave them in the oven overnight. No heat, just the light. The light gives them just enogh heat.
in oven with light and fan
?
or only light?
Both would be even better!
...just fondant by itself without a strengthening agent won't dry as strong though. Some basic figurines will be fine in just fondant. But more complex shapes, like a shoe, will need to be stronger...otherwise you risk having all your work wasted when it breaks.
I have a dehydrator that I have used with my fondant (with tylose) flowers, numbers, letters... I make sure they are cardboard covered in wax paper.. I also place tissue and/or wax paper in petals to hold shape. When you first remove them from dehydrator they will still be wet and movable but will quickly harden once cooled.
