 Fondant cracking My fondant develops small cracks and splits when applying to a cake. Can't figure out why. Fondant is made a couple of days in advance. Any advice?  |

| i have only worked with store bought fondant from a specialty cake store. the only time i have seen cracking is when somebody has stretched the fondant to fit over a cake. ... what are you using to prevent the fondant from sticking to the rolling pin and counter top? powdered sugar? crisco? cornstarch? |

| what formula are you using? sounds like you are working it to cold and dry. i like to use marshmallow fondant for smaller cakes and Satinice for the larger cakes. try using a brush to dust corn starch on your surface before rolling. (not just broadcasting by hand).
