Fondant 101: Storing

There is nothing like the excitement of opening a fresh bucket of fondant when decorating a cake! However, there is also nothing like the frustration of opening a container only to find old, dried-out fondant when you’re finally ready to cover a perfectly iced cake. Dried out fondant is difficult to work with and often results in chunks of sugar, a lumpy surface, and tearing!

In this video, cake superstar Rachael Teufel quickly shares how she stores and preserves her fondant so that it’s always ready for her next cake. Whether you’re covering a cake, molding a fondant figure, or creating fondant flowers, it is essential to have soft and pliable fondant to work with. Taking the time to store your fondant right will save any cake decorator hours in the long run and help your fondant stay fresh! Bonus? All you need is some plastic wrap!
