To dry fondant on cookies, circulating air is key to speeding up the process. One effective method is to use a fan or even a blow dryer set to a cool setting.
Using a Fan or Blow Dryer
Moving air significantly helps the drying process for fondant. According to Craftsy, placing fondant pieces in front of a stationary fan can shorten the drying time.
Here's how you can do it:
- Prepare the cookies: Place your fondant-decorated cookies on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or waxed paper.
- Position a fan: Set up a stationary fan (or a blow dryer on a cool setting) so that it blows air directly over the cookies.
- Allow time: Let the circulating air work its magic. While it won't be instant, this method helps the fondant dry faster than simply letting it sit in still air. The reference notes that it can still take a few hours, potentially up to overnight, but it will be quicker overall.
- Tip: Ensure the fan is not too strong, as this could potentially damage delicate fondant decorations. A low or medium setting is usually sufficient.
Using circulating air from a fan or blow dryer is a practical way to help your fondant cookies dry more efficiently.
