I only had one heart that cracked and it curled a bit, too. I thought maybe I'd made it too thin. I didn't knead my dough because it seemed to dry too quickly. http://simplycreatinghome.com/cornstarch-dough-hearts/<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by earlier and leaving such a sweet comment.

Before I saw the pictures on a bigger screen I thought maybe too thin, but seeing them now they look fine. I'm thinking the dough would be stronger if the ratio of baking soda to for cornstarch was swapped to 1 cup of cornstarch and 1/2 cup baking soda. I would have thought the flour would be what gave it its strength. I just looked at her tutorial and she says that not enough kneading will cause cracking, maybe it's a case of playing around with the kneading times, what's enough? I really don't know, but I'm sorry it didn't work out as planned. Thanks for the shout out by the way :)<br />Mel@Mellywood's Mansionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07636427820882725798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7679982809007414974.post-25864540196692291222013-01-30T18:43:42.385-08:002013-01-30T18:43:42.385-08:00They are adorable!
