Does this stay soft?


Hi henrie. It should - you may need to give it a stir now and then, and if you aren't going to use it right away, cover with some plastic wrap.


Can you make flowers with this?


Hi michelle. No, it is thinner than that and then dries to a hard surface. But you cannot shape anything out of it.


How lovely these turned out, babs! :) I love the peppermint one...have seen candy canes, of course, but the mint is new to me. It's so simple, but I like it. :)


OMG!!! Babs, these are perfect! I love them! I even love that you put them on a glass plate...it looks like ice! BTW...tell your SIL that your snowman is so cute, he doesn't need a nose! :)
