Place your creations on a baking tray (lined with a sheet of kitchen foil) and bake for around 20 minutes on gas mark 2. It is (I have found) possible to bake, then rebake (and add more layers of Fimo if you want). It is much better to part bake, then rebake than to burn it and bin it!!!

You could also try rolling out a small amount of fimo flat and making a little ball shaped blob out of another piece to do a test bake before attempting to bake, and lose, hours or even days of work.
