I have a dehumidifier in my cake kitchen....and I use a dehydrator. With they dehydrator your centers of your flowers have to be completely dry by air before you build something like roses or larger flowers on a thick center because it will get gummy and softer on the inside if you put it in and it's very very thick. Also, you can buy extra plastic racks to go inside of the dehydrator to make it taller. There is not much space between the grids...I used wire cutters to cut the grids out of…

Also, you can buy extra plastic racks to go inside of the dehydrator to make it taller. There is not much space between the grids...I used wire cutters to cut the grids out of several of them so that I can stack empty rings in between rings with grids and make the space large enough to hold large flowers like roses, magnolias, tulips and such. Also, add tylose powder to your fondant and gumpaste to make it dry better in humid weather. I live IN A SWAMP...most of the time our humidity is about 90% or higher....I empty my dehumidifier EVERY day and it holds a gallon and a half. You would love one if you got it...but wear chapstick and lots of moisturizer cuz it's hard on your skin...great on gumpaste.

I have also read of using a food dehydrator, you may be able to find a cheap one at a yard sale or on ebay.<br />
