Fondant can last 2-3 weeks when stored properly

Fondant maintains freshness for 2-3 weeks when stored in cool, dry conditions. Proper storage prevents drying, mold, and texture changes that affect quality.

Storage Conditions for Maximum Freshness

  • Keep in airtight containers away from heat and humidity
  • Store at room temperature between 65-70°F
  • Protect from direct sunlight and moisture
  • Wrap tightly in plastic wrap before container storage

Factors Affecting Fondant Shelf Life

  1. Humidity levels - High moisture causes molding
  2. Temperature fluctuations - Extreme heat or cold affects texture
  3. Container sealing - Air exposure leads to drying
  4. Ingredient quality - Fresh ingredients last longer
