I learned a lot of lessons on this one. 1. Don't take last minute orders... I got the order on this cake today at 2:00pm to be delivered by 6:00 pm. 2. Homemade fondant must set overnight... otherwise it cracks and is a great big mess! 3. Let your buttercream crust before applying fondant or again... great big mess... 4. Shortcuts don't work out... I tried to use a fondant writer instead of making the icing and piping it out myself.... it looks super sloppy. 5. If you don't say you are disappointed no one else will ever notice there is anything wrong.... I felt so horrible about this one that I donated it to the b-day cause... it was awfull....
