How to store fondant
When storing fondant, it is important:
- Keep it covered, to avoid air and delay drying.
- Avoid sunlight. It may lose colour.
- Never put it in the fridge. It hardens, it does not need refrigeration.
To store it, I recommend you do not mix colours. They may fade if they are in contact for a long time. Stains may appear.
How do I store leftover fondant?
I like to keep it in zip bags and inside a small tupperware. So, hardly any air will enter. And also, I put them in a closet to avoid light.
In addition, it is also advisable to keep the pieces in a ball shape and the bigger the better. It will help to keep humidity for a long time.
