You can make fondant stars 1 to 2 days in advance to allow them sufficient time to dry and harden. This drying period helps them maintain their shape and ensures they are sturdy for decoration. If you're using them for a specific event, preparing them a few days ahead can also alleviate last-minute stress. Just store them in a cool, dry place until you're ready to use them.

To fix a fondant cake defect, first assess the issue, such as cracks, tears, or uneven surfaces. For cracks, gently smooth the area with a bit of vegetable shortening or water, then reapply a thin layer of fondant if necessary. For tears, you can patch them with a piece of fondant that matches the color and texture. If the surface is uneven, use a fondant smoother to even it out, or lightly roll the fondant to make it more pliable.
store bought fondant is not as good as it looks. what i think is that homemade fondant is by far the best. bakers usually put butter cream to make it taste better. hope this helped.
