Hi !
I am making a cake for a friend, and its a Dora the Explorer cake. I made a fondant girl that somewhat resembles Dora. After her head dried, the head now has some cracks in it!!

Is there " anything " I can do to fix it... short of making another girl. I hope its something I can do... it took me forever to get this fondant girl to resemble Dora!!!

Any help will be appreciated!!

can you show us dora.. i don,t know of anything to fix a cracked fondant anything. after it is it dry... i make a lot of things out of fondant or fondant/g/p mixed.. or pastialage.. never had them to crack.. and had to redo them.. so maybe someone else has an answer for you..

I've never had my fondant to crack but I thought I'd give you a bump.

You can try to make up some royal icing and color it as close as you can to the fondant that cracked, fill the crack and then remove the excess. It won't be perfect, but it might salvage your piece. Good luck.

I had this happen on my little elephant last night....i just took water and wet it a little bit in the cracked area and kind of worked out the crack with the tip of my paint brush...trying not to ruin the shape while doing it. I will see what it looks like when i get home.

thank you everyone!! " adven68 "... I am going to try this and see if I can get it to work!

I know what happened and what I did wrong.... I colored my fondant in advance and put it in a zip loc baggie. I didn't squeeze out all the air, and I think it just dried out too much, before I used it!! Lesson Learned!!! (LOL)

Thanks

Did the method of mixing a little fondant with water work to fix the crack? I have a 3 layer cake and the middle layer got a couple cracks in it after it was assembled and I really don't want to have to take it apart to recover the middle layer in fondant. (of corse it is a layer that is red in color too)
