Good day, I'm new to fondant, so new i've never made it before! I'm going to be making MMF, and was just wondering, how long does it last? If i were to make Fondant flowers now, would they still be good to decorate a cake in a months time??????

I think that they last for a long time...as long as you don't put them in the fridge. I'm new to everything and have also experimented with fondant flowers as well as gum paste ones. I've watched every you tube tutorial, tried to pay close attention...and my flowers look awful. I like fondant better than gumpaste, but gumpaste dries quicker. My edges won't frill without breaking, my "dough" sticks all the time. This has turned out to be much harder than it looks. Good luck to you!

Yes they'll last months, assuming you don't want people actually eating them. Just keep them out of the light so they don't fade, especially the darker colored ones. And put them in a container (not airtight) so they don't get dusty. I have figures and flowers that I've made for family cakes that I have saved the figures from and they are still in one piece, hard as a rock...And my granddaughter plays with them like they are toys

luckyblueeye, try adding a little tylose powder to your mmf and it will dry faster and harder. For the stickyness, try dusting the surface with cornstarch.

Thanks debbief! When I watch Edna's videos, I see that her gumpaste isn't nearly as sticky as mine...probably didn't add enough powdered sugar when I mixed it. I'll try tylose w/MMF next time.

Thanks so much for the info! I think this is gonna be a wonderful site!
