Fondant is a sugary mixture that becomes like modeling clay when at room temperature and it's used to cover decorated cakes. Since the cake needs to be at room temperature to serve and since fondant can easily become soft enough to sag or slide off the cake, the best way to keep it from melting is to keep it refrigerated until you're ready to serve and only give it an hour or so to warm up. Keep any unserved portion back in the fridge.
To keep it from melting while your working with it to cover the cake or make the decorations, keep the room cooler than you would usually and stay away from sunny windows, the oven and any other heat source.

Keep it is a dry place, with low humidity. MOisture in the air will make the drying process slower. Also, keep the temperature about average. Too hot won't allow it to dry, too cool might not allow it to set up or will change the consistancy of it. Then just leave it to air dry.

How can cake icing dry quicker?
Websites recommend at least a week for thorough drying. However, while it is best to use gum paste or royal icing which dries very hard for things like flowers or figures, if you have already made the fondant into something and you want it to dry quickly, then you can take a desk fan and have it blow onto the fondant for several hours. This will help it to dry faster. I found this information on the ehow.com website.
