The refrigerator is actually quite humid, so it makes fondant more tacky and sticky than leaving it at room temperature, preferably in an airconditioned spot. Making your fondant as thin as possible, so it will dry thoroughly will be helpful. You may need to let them dry out longer before attaching them to the cake. You can make the decorations days in advance, to make sure they are dry and stiff.

Thanks! Zoë

I dried the decorations for about 10 hours at room temp. I then put them on a cake covered with cream cheese frosting and few hours after they started to melt. Do you have any idea what might prevent this? After that I did put the cake in the fridge (thinking it will dry out the fondant flowers) but apparently I made it worse. Thanks a lot for your help Zoe!

I have found it at Joann fabrics in the past. Ask them for their heaviest gauge, I think it is used for covering furniture? You want a piece that is going to easily accomodate the largest cake size. Remember that you roll the fondant out much larger than the actual cake width.

Thanks, Zoë

What is “heavy gauge” vinyl (30 gauge?) and how big of a piece do you go for…?

Thank you!

By the way, I read almost all of your pizza book in 10 days :-) . The first thing on my list is the deep dish pizza with savory brioche dough. The only problem is that I ran out of flour, and the next shopping trip is going to be in a week or so. So I have something to look forward to in the coming year. Happy 2012, Zoe!

btw, I just recently bought your “healthy bread” book for my kindle and look forward to making those gluten free bread recipes. I can’t wait to chew on a nice fresh loaf again!
