Tips for working with fondant icing
Work quickly as your icing will dry out quick and to avoid cracks.
Weather and humidity will affect your fondant. Humidity will make fondant icing sticky and cold weather will make it hard. This also applies to your hand so make sure your hands are not too cold or hot.
Fondant dries out quickly. Put unused fondant in a plastic wrap or cover it when unused.
Cover a cake that is at room temperature. Avoid covering cake straight from the fridge.
Tylose powder can we added to your fondant to make it dry hard (gumpaste).
