Color of Fondant Fading
I make my own MMF. I am in the process of making a Sesame Street cake for this weekend and the figures are made of fondant. I had the perfect purple fondant for the Count. He came out great. But today, I notice he is now blue more than purple. He was sitting in a bit of direct sunlight. So, I don't know if that can cause it. He is still a bit purple. I am hoping I don't have to redo him.

Sunlight will cause fondant to fade faster. Next time store your figures in a dark area. At this point you can dust your figures with the same dusts you use for gumpaste and then steam it. Steaming sets the color - only takes a second or two to steam. These dusts are non-toxic but aren't entirely edible. Next choice would be to paint it with a vodka/gel color mix and let it dry. This may be a little sticky so give it overnight to dry.

Great thanks. I figured the sunlight was the cause.

Yes Ken
Sunlight is NOT fondants friend. Like Deah, I store my made pieces in a dark area far away from light.
Good luck with The Count
