If you do not use all your icing fondant or sugarpaste and wish to keep it; then store it in an airtight food bag, or ziplock bag with all the air removed and then store in a cool, dry place/cupboard.
If you do wrap your icing fondant or sugarpaste in cling film or saran wrap ensure you place it in an airtight container or additional sealed food bag as cling film breathes and will cause your icing or fondant to possibly sweat, crack or go hard. However, if you do the additional measures and seal it correctly, it will last as long as the expiry date on the packaging.
Never store icing in the fridge as it sweats.
