Sugarpaste decorations/figurines

[dkcrooby]

Hi,

Does anyone know how long sugarpaste decorations/figurines can be made in advance before putting them on a cake?

Thanks,
Shianne

Hello There,
I have made figures weeks in advance before now. The only problem you may have is colour fade. This is especially true with blues and mauves. I always store them, well covered. in a cool, dark cupboard. I make flowers well in advance aswell. When I need them I dust them and hold them in steam from a kettle for a few seconds.

Hope this helps

I agree with Debba....but usually as every cake I do seems to be different tend not to bother as I aslways make the wrong thing..............Also my little girl finds them and either eats them or throws it across the room
