Any ideas on where I can buy good quantities of fondant (regular, not rolled), almond paste, and marzipan, preferably in the East Bay (near Walnut Creek)? I need at least 3-4 pounds each, so the few ounce portions that are sold...

purchased a container of fondant (rolled icing)as per the instructions. I need to dye it and make the little guys. How far in advance can I do this without them falling apart? Can I just set them out to dry a few days in advance...
