I'm sure the answer is here somewhere but I can't find it.

I'm making angry birds...How far a head can I make them. My niece is coming in 2 1/2 weeks and I don't want to be working on them while she is here. The cake is also for her.

Any suggestions?

I've made angry birds figures twice now, very fun to make! But I've made them pretty far in advance, at least a week before the actual cake was made. I think if stored correctly, in a cool, dry place, fondant and gumpaste flowers/figures will last a long, long time. I have 2 children, so I have to work on my cakes when they have gone to bed (so only like one or two angry birds a night!!). Hope this helps, and have fun!
