Fondant cracks usually come from dryness, rushed handling, weak kneading, sudden temperature changes, or pulling the fondant too tightly during covering.
Work with controlled timing, smooth pressure, climate-aware storage, and a properly prepared surface so the fondant stays flexible while you finish the cake.
Transport planning also protects the finish. Strong structure, box space, cooling, and careful movement can prevent damage after the cake leaves your work table.
