Should I bake it or blow dry it?

[allthesharks]

I've made a unicorn horn with Renshaw modelling paste. It's very wet and I need it to dry in time for DDs party tomorrow morning. I've tried blow drying a spare piece of the paste to see if that helps it to dry without it cracking, and it seems to be ok, but I'm wondering if putting it in the oven on a low heat for a while would be better. I'll be honest, it looks pretty crap anyway, but I don't want to make it look any worse. Any suggestions?

Just leave it overnight on the counter. It should be perfect for tomorrow.

I've just realised that I actually need it to dry quicker as I need to decorate around it. I think I'm going to try blow drying it. If it buggers it up I'll have to think of something else.

I've just managed to stab it with my finger nail so that's not helped matters.

Airing cupboard?

The whole cake is looking a bit shit. My crumb coat was too thin so you can still see the layers through what was supposed to be the top coat. I'm not normally this shit.

Thing is OP your DD will be thrilled with it —even if it, objectively speaking, actually looks a bit shite—

Picture?

Ice cream cone substitute?

The ice cream cone is a good idea as a back up actually!

Here is the horn in its current state. The cake is back in the fridge. I'll post a photo of the finished monstrosity if it gets that far.

That’s not bad!

The cake is finished and it's not a complete disaster. It's far from the best cake I've ever made but the horn has stayed in tact. I realised last night that as parents aren't staying it's only 5 and 6 year olds who will see it. I'll post a photo later. I have no space on my phone at the moment.

Great job! You should be so proud of it.

Nice JoB!
