Rice Krispie Help Needed Please
Decorating By dreamacres Updated 31 May 2011 , 10:59am by MelissaJeane
I made a rookie mistake. Made numbers with premade rice krispie treats. I decide the "1" would be find on a skewer and was planning on doing the "3" with wire and skewer. Got caught up in the moment and did not use the wire on the 3. Should I start over with the 3. Will the rice krispies dry on their own? I am planning on covering with white chocolate and then I was going to cover in gumpaste, thinking it would make it even stronger. I will then airbrush. Thank you for your help.
thanks so much for your help. do you think I would be better leaving the chocolate off and just covering with some buttercream/ gumpaste and let dry. I do have 4 days drying time.
I used white chocolate under marshmallow fondant and it worked out great. I have never tried gumpaste though. I would think that it will be fine without the wire. I usually let my rice krispies dry about 24 hours before covering with MMF, but I don't think you would have to wait that long. It is just the way it works out for me with working full-time. I do all my caking after work.
Interesting, let the RKT dry? why??? I have never done this, and I have not had a problem! Am I missing something 
Oh please tell me in case I have a disaster waiting to happen!! I love using that stuff to make mini sculptures with that are too small for cake, but too large for gumpaste!
I let my castle walls dry for a day before covering and they were supported with PVC. It worked out great. This weekend when I made a dragon with the super high humidity they just wanted to sink they refused to set up. If you need them to stand like a laptop screen make sure they set up well and have them in a temperature controlled room.
