How far in advance can you make shapes from modelling paste?

I am new to cakes and sugarcraft but with your help have already had some amazing success and learnt loads. However please can you tell me how far in advance I could make the hearts for the handbag & dog cake. I presume storage would be in airtight container in cool place?

Many Thanks Lauren

Hi Lauren

The shapes can be made up months in advance and when dry, stored in a cardboard box in a cool place. Don’t put them in an airtight container because they will sweat from lack of ventilation and go limp and sticky.

Hope this helps. x
