How thick should my fondant be when I do cut outs to put on my cake? Also, how long should I let my fondant covered cake rest before I start to stack them?

I let my fondant covered cakes sit for about an hour before stacking them and doing anything with them. When I apply cutouts onto the cake I usually go about an 1/8th ... I try not to get it too think but dont want it so thin that you can see thru it.. lol!

hth!
