Hi there,
I am attempting to make a birthday cake for a friend whom is a transformers fan. This has no relevence to the help I need...
The picture below is of a face I have made.
(sorry for the poor quality)
The trouble I'm having is that the icing has started to crack and look a bit rough where I've fiddled with it whilst its been drying out. I'm just wondering if theres anyway I can glaze it or somehow make it look much smoother/cleaner? Its grey fondant icing on top of a red fondant icing.
Thanks for your help

When I've made cakes with my mum once it starts to dry out that's it - no glaze or anything is going to make it look smoother.
Got any grey left to try again or do you not want to?I have a gift for enraging people, but if I ever bore you it'll be with a knife

when my icing cracked as i tried to move it what i did was get some of the same colour and mash it up with enough water to make a paste then rubbed it over the top to fill in the cracks with my finger, once it dried it didnt really show too much at all..0

I made one of these for DS last year!
just use a pastry brush and cover it with water and smooth it with a knife when it is damp enoughBlessed are the cracked for they are the ones that let in the light
