Fontdant question

for my SIL's wedding her cupcake maker was supposed to make these candied hearts out of fondant, as seen in this pic from martha stewart:



So now i am doing them...i bought wilton premade 5lb white fondant and the fondant roller. I figured rolling it out and cutting out hearts shouldnt be too hard.

question: how far in advance can I do these? the wedding is 10/1. I figured 2 days before I would do them and store them in a container and bring to the wedding with me.

is that ok? how long does fondant last for? I assume it hardens when left out, which I think is how these are supposed to be.

thanks!

Re: Fontdant question

Those aren't difficult at all!
You can do them as car in advance as you want to....but 2 days should be fine. It has to dry out so it'll stay hardened.
Don't put it in a container to store though...that'll keep it from totally hardening.

I like to cut the fondant and then let it dry on either a large Styrofoam board, or on parchment paper.

Good luck!

awesome..so i can do them next weekend, leave them out on a tray of parchment paper and we should be good to go.
