Hello All! I have a problem and I knew this is the place to turn to. I am doing a 'boob' cake for my husband's friend. Well, everything was going perfect except I just noticed the fondant on the 'body' has cracked badly and it is creating a sort of crevice! (in a couple of spots) icon_cry.gif I tried applying some crisco like we learned in class that just made the mistakes stand out more because now it is shiny!!! I already applied a bra to the top area! Any and all suggestions welcomed!!!

Thank you all in advance.

Try getting some extra fondant really wet and make a thin paste out of it, dab off the crisco without making it worseicon_smile.gif and brush on the pasty stuff.

WHat kind of cake do you have going on under the fondant? It may not need refridgeration.....

It is a Duncan Hines mix...the 'boobs' are yellow and the base is chocolate...they won't get the cake until Monday. Started it now because I have an extremely busy weekend ahead. Now I am not sure if that was a good idea.

Oh, it's only for Monday? Go ahead and refridgerate, it'll be fine.

Just a thought: I don't think they'll notice the cracking, seeing what the design is!!!
