Tips:

For fondant cake, use sponge cake or pound cake as the base, which can support and bear weight. Chiffon cake is not recommended as the base; after the cake is trimmed, it can hold the cream cheese paste well, or Italian style Meringue to make the face;
Fondant and dried pisces are easy to dry during the production process, so use white oil to moisturize them continuously, and at the same time cover them with plastic wrap as much as possible;
In addition, take dry pez as you use it, don't make too much at one time, to prevent it from being too dry and not easy to operate;
