Ok, so lightly grease the inside of a length of Saran Wrap and wrap the fondant up tightly squeezing out all the air and it will keep (trust me) forever!!!! I refrigerate mine for an indefinite period of time but it's good for over three months in regular room temps if wrapped properly. It can also be used on sugar cookies. Take them out of the oven and quickly place the cutout of a baby carriage or wedding cake cutout over the hot cookie and the fondant will melt into it slightly - then pipe around and on it and you have a designer cookie.

: That is a good idea for all white cakes. My problem is that I tend to do special occasion cakes in Fondant and then I have a lot of leftover colored fondant, which has more limited use.

: I have one price for buttercream covered cakes and one for fondant. With the leftovers I make small medium and large pearls and store them away until needed for another cake.

: When I charge for a fondant cake, I just include the fondant that I use. But usually I have so much leftover because of the extra amount needed to allow for fully covering the cake. Sometimes I can use it for another cake or for my kids' cakes, but not most of the time and I wind up discarding it. Do most of you charge for just the amount that you use or include all of it that you make.
