Yesterday the icing looked so smooth (I used the petite four icing from the recipes on this site).
That would be my first guess too. Were they fully cooled before you iced them? I know sometimes you think it's cooled but when you feel underneath the cake its still warm in spots.
did you pre ice them with buttercream,like a crumb coat. id say the cakes absorbed some of the icing. petit fours generally have a thin coat of icing or marzipan on the surface before pouring on the fondant.

definitely - before using a poured icing on a cake, you want to apply buttercream, apricot glaze or something like that...otherwise the cake will absorb the thin glaze.
ahhh... nope just poured the icing on. We'll file it under live and learn. I ended up scrapping the whole easter egg cupcake ideas for Easter dinner when I saw them like that and went with an angel lush cake instead.
