Also, if you'll be working with it in the next couple of days, I would keep the fondant at room temp, but otherwise I might put it in the fridge. But fondant keeps for a long time so it's ok if at room temp even longer :). I have a video to make to help with this cake. I will have to share that link when I finally put that together!Cake Couture Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10168425260086614089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8146645973674040706.post-83552423243001031042023-02-09T16:05:25.247-08:002023-02-09T16:05:25.247-08:00I am so excited to attempt this cake! My question ...I am so excited to attempt this cake! My question is about how to store the homemade marshmallow fondant after I have colored it but before I mold the blocks. Do I store it airtight like it would be if it had been store-bought, or do I actually want it to sit out and dry/harden a bit to work better with the mold? Room temp or fridge?

Of course this is with our Cake Couture fondant, I am unsure how other fondants like Satin Ice, Fondx, or Wilton will hold up. We actually now offer a cake kit for this cake as well which includes our fondant. Thanks and good luck with your cake project! We would love to see it and would love to share on our social if you decide you want to share it with us :). We can be reached at info@cakecouturelove.com.

Breaking the tasks up in the evening should work very well! Once I made a wedding cake and made all the little pieces here and there so I wouldn't bother my husband with the kitchen lol. I would get started now with prepping the colored fondant itself. As for the cake ANY recipe should do just fine even box! I have done that myself:). Google "cake mix doctored recipes". I would LOVE to see your cake and how everything goes! Feel free to share here, on Etsy, our new site www.cakecouturelove.com or facebook! Much luck he will LOVE it especially because you made it!!!

How long does it take for the mold to arrive? I want this to be a surprise for him, which means I have to do everything at night. After reading other people’s comments, I’m starting to freak out at the difficulty. How many people did your cake feed? I’m hosting a small party. 4-5 kids. But I want the cake to look amazing. One of the kids doesnt like chocolate. Do you have a recipe for a different type of cake? What about a cake out of a box? I want to make this as easy for myself as possible.
