Please help! I’m new to cake decorating and I have a cake order due tomorrow morning. I covered the cake in fondant and used a royal icing drip over it. I let it sit over night to dry and while transporting the cake, the Royal icing cracked in several areas. Is there any way to fix this??? Can I use water on dried Royal icing to try and smooth it out? Or am I just out of luck w this??? Maybe I should use petal dust on the cracks and make it look like it’s supposed to be like that???
So sorry no one was available to help u. I’m not sure but I would try it. Hopefully I’m not too late:( Use an art brush just barely wet — I don’t want it to drip.
Sounds like your base board isn’t thick enough so the cake flexed . Next double your board or use a cage drum
Personally, I would leave it alone. The cracking is relatively insignificant and only another cake decorator would ever notice it.
To know this is to late but I’m just now seeing the pic... in future don’t use royal icing . Canned b’cream is a much better choice. And as I said put the cake on a stronger board.
Let us know how it went. What, if anything, did you do — inquiring minds want to know
