So, if you made your own fondant that could be an issue. If you didn't weigh your ingredients and used the scooping method that might be another reason for the wetness. Another problem might be the humidity in your area. However, that being said, I live in Vancouver, which is a rainforest, technically. If you live in Asia or the tropics, the might have played a rold in your problem. If you used a recipe, did you try the Wilton one? Check out the site. I used it an had no problems; no wetness.Cakebrainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11105616222969699846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202234701285349376.post-19301290644142995822008-08-04T21:45:00.000-07:002008-08-04T21:45:00.000-07:00hi, i just came across your post :) the flowers ar...hi, i just came across your post :) the flowers are lovely. btw, why does your fondant look so dry? mine's more wet hence it cant be shaped well. could it be becasue of the weather..or?Vicki's E-Portfoliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03093295044017508835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202234701285349376.post-60367406204871473632008-07-24T16:45:00.000-07:002008-07-24T16:45:00.000-07:00Thanks for the tip.

After I took the Wilton decorating course, everything changed! I took mine at the Cookshop in City Square in Vancouver, but I think Michaels offers them too. It was fun and I learned a lot! I buy my stuff (using coupons) from Michaels, and I frequent the Cookshop and Ming Wo (only the one in Chinatown has tons of baking stuff). There are other places too like Gourmet Warehouse...Cakebrainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11105616222969699846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202234701285349376.post-43184566594622306082008-07-17T01:17:00.000-07:002008-07-17T01:17:00.000-07:00Hi my fellow Vancouverite!

I see all of these wonderful fondant creations like this and I've got to ask, what the heck is and where in our city do you get all of your cool baking stuff? My baking is pretty much limited to cupcakes, muffins and cookies but I'd love to expand my knowledge.
