I am making a dragon out of Rice Krispies, covering it with buttercream and then fondant. I have never worked with Rice Krispies before and wanted to know if anyone has any pointers? thanks

Hope that helps!

I actually made my first decorated cake last week so I'm no expert. However, I did use RKTs quite a bit in my cake (I think it's in my profile picture). It helped to use more RKs than typically called for (I think I used 8 cups instead of 6). Then I packed the RKTs really firmly into a pan and let them rest for an hour. Then I carved out the shape I needed. This worked MUCH better than using really sticky and less well packed RKTs.
