Great job! How did you get your book cover to not droop?

Thanks! I made the top and side piece out of one piece of fondant. I folded some cardstock in the form that I wanted it to harden in, then I put on my edible image and formed the fondant over the cardstock. I put it on top of a stack of books and left it like that to dry/harden overnight. The next morning, I just laid it over the cake and it was stiff enough, no drooping!!
