Humidity Adjustments To Gumpaste And Fondant
Baking By MelissaJeane Updated 12 May 2011 , 4:09pm by MelissaJeane
I'm using a mold for a horse figure and because of the humidity (extra high) my 50/50 gumpaste fondant mix is not setting up. I left it in the mold longer and tried the freezer still soft. Should I use more gumpaste? I don't want to keep wasting things. Maybe something I could add to the mix? Thank you for any help.
Have you tried sticking it under a desk lamp or by a fan?
When I need something to dry/harder fast I like to put it on a bed of cornstarch and under a lamp.
I will give that a try. It's been exceptionally humid for our area for this time of year. I was suprised that it was still soft after sitting overnight. The figures are for a cake due Saturday so hopefully I can get them to cooperate. At least my flower baskets are doing great in this weather, thank you for the help.
