Any tricks to preventing gumpaste items from wilting in humid weather??
Hi, you just have to be sure you keep them in a cool room . Keep a small fan blowing on them. You can put them in the oven (electric) on 150 degree for about 2 hrs. also. don,t know what gas temp. would be. I learned this some years ago from nick lodge. and scott woolley, etc. You just have to watch them and be sure humidity doesn,t get them.
the items were just fine until the party, which was outdoors, then the items wilted? any way to prevent that?
AHave u seen laquer spray? I live in south ms I'm order some have not used it yet. Got to work...
AIs it food safe? As it will touch the consumable parts of the cake?

Wow this happened to me already and it was really embarrassing. I learned to put my gumpaste pieces and flowers on trays in my oven with the light on. I actually keep the light on right up until I am ready to use the sugar pieces. Just make sure to account for the electricity of having your oven light on for the period of time.
so basically I needed to make sure the pieces are extremely dry, no moisture left at all in them, and then they won't wilt when they hit humidity at the venue?
