No. Because of the heat, it will melt. Believe me, I've tried it. You can chill it or keep it under room temp to dry it.
Try refrigerating it? be careful it doesn't sweat. An air conditioner might help better.
Yes. As long as you seal it in a ziploc or an airtight container, it will not dry out.
Yes, you can substitute icing sugar with fondant icing sugar to make fondant icing, as both are powdered sugars. However, fondant icing sugar is specifically formulated for making fondant, often containing additional ingredients that help achieve a smoother texture and better elasticity. Keep in mind that the final texture and consistency may vary slightly depending on the specific brand and formulation of the fondant icing sugar used.
Marshmallow fondant can crack for several reasons, including incorrect moisture levels, overworking the fondant, or applying it when it's too cold. If the fondant is too dry, it may need a bit of water or shortening added to improve its elasticity. Additionally, ensure that the surface you're rolling it on is adequately dusted with cornstarch or powdered sugar to prevent sticking and tearing. Lastly, if the fondant is applied to a cake that is still warm or not properly cooled, it can lead to cracking as it sets.

Yes, you can use fondant on fresh cream, but it's important to note that fresh cream can be unstable and may not hold up well under fondant's weight. To prevent the cream from melting the fondant, it's advisable to chill the cake before applying the fondant and to work quickly. Additionally, using a thin layer of ganache or buttercream as a base can help create a barrier between the fresh cream and the fondant, ensuring better adherence and stability.
No. In fact, refrigeration will dry them out and make them rubbery even faster than leaving them in the cupboard.
Websites recommend at least a week for thorough drying. However, while it is best to use gum paste or royal icing which dries very hard for things like flowers or figures, if you have already made the fondant into something and you want it to dry quickly, then you can take a desk fan and have it blow onto the fondant for several hours. This will help it to dry faster. I found this information on the ehow.com website.
To stop fondant from sweating, ensure that it is stored in a cool, dry place away from humidity. If it has already started sweating, you can lightly dust it with cornstarch or powdered sugar to absorb moisture. Additionally, allow the fondant-covered cake to acclimate to room temperature in a controlled environment before serving. Avoid refrigerating the cake, as this can cause condensation when taken out.
The fondant will crystallise
Can the fondant sealer be used instead of whipped fondant so it won't be very sweet or does the fondant have to rolled out thinner
