<p>Meera,</p>
<p>I am thinking that I have tried this before but I couldn't keep them from drying out so I just cut them out and put them on as I am decorating. I would be curious if anyone has been able to do it. Colorado is so so dry that things dry out VERY FAST here!</p>

If you are making fondant pieces that you do not want to harden... you will have to make them right before you put them on the cake. You could maybe cover them in plastic and keep them a little soft but once fondant or gumpaste is rolled out and cut it begins to dry as soon as the air hits it. If you keep them tightly covered in plastic they might not dry out but not a guarantee.

What time period are you looking for? Are the shapes going to be flat or curved? Can place between 2 pieces of plastic for a limited time for the flat pieces.........got me on the curved pieces.

<p>Hi everyone,</p>

With the gumpaste things the main thing to remember is to let them dry completely before you store them. If I were you I'd get them all done now and it will give you more time the week before.

Your GUMPASTE question.......... Do not freeze or bake,........gumpaste can be stored in refrig before rolling or pressing, if using a homemade receipe. After cutting/pressing/molding let dry over night, or a few days and store in to plastic or cardboard shoe boxes. Keep away from moisture and heat. Should last for months. Check out <a href="http://www.designmeacake.com/" rel="nofollow">www.designmeacake.com</a>, there is a receipe for gumpaste and more information on the 'tutorials'link. …

<p>Rochelle,</p>
<p>There isn't anything wrong with freezing the cakes and bring them out a few days before you are ready to decorate them. The cake will still be very moist. Just make sure you wrapy it well before freezing. I wrap it in foil wrap first then in cling flim. As for the gum paste figures they will keep indefinately as long as they are kept in a dry place, definately don't freeze or put them in the fridge.</p>

<p>Thanks all for so much great insight!!</p>
<p>I love to see how everyone says "GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN" or "SOUNDS LIKE FUN" or "HAVE FUN!"</p>
<p>When I discuss with non cakers they say "What how will you ever do that?"</p>
<p>Thanks for just being Cakers!</p>
<p>I too, never freeze cakes but I don't think I have any choice this time I mean I AM ONLY ONE PERSON! :)</p>

<p>I did 15 individual cakes for a client about 4 yrs. ago. Boy, I didn't charge enough that was for sure. Don't do the same thing!! Remember this, no one else would do that type of work (especially Wally World). Have fun!!</p>
