Hi!

There was a post with a similar title just a few minutes ago. I added two posts and wanted to remove the last one but to my horror it seems that I somehow have managed to delete the entire post!!! My sincere apologies to the person who started it.

What I wrote was this:

I needed to do this very same thing last week although in my case it was 2d My Little Pony fondant cutouts. I found an old post on CC that said that you can freeze fondant decorations on a cake board inside a plastic bag and then let them thaw for about 20 mins (until they were no longer sticky to the touch) before attaching them to the cake. This way they were still pliable and could be made before hand.

It worked like a charm!! I don't think I waited quite 20 mins for them to thaw, only just until they could be handled. I also kept a close eye on them while thawing so that they did not get too hard and dry in room temperature. I did take them out of the plastic bag as they thawed as well. I was able to paste the fondant cutouts around the sides of my 20 cm round cake without any problems! 

Thank goodness for CC  :) This has helped me immensely and opened up a whole lot of possibilities. Hope it helps you too :)

Just letting you know this post has been restored.

Thanks Jackie!

thanks for the info, i'll be doing the same.

Does it matter if use have colored or flavored the fondant? @Rohini ‍ 

No it makes no difference.

You can also store the pieces in an airtight container, similar to the one the fondant originally came in. 

Hi jellybeanlane! I see that kakeladi has been kind enough to answer your question :) Yes, I colored my fondant to make the cutouts before freezing them. There was no problem :)

Thanks for your answer as well nadiacorallo. Cheers!
