I like use a half powdered sugar and half corn starch. Keep lifting as roll it out and add more as needed. I would use a firmer cake for the tiers. Pound cake baked in layers or if you were going to use a mix, try swapping out the oil and water for the amounts of butter and milk and add an extra egg. I'd love to see it when you make it!

It's fantastic! I've never used fondant before. Any word of advice for a first timer? Also do you have any advice for working with tiers? Certain recipes or techniques? Thanks!

However if you want it smoother you may want to frost the rice krispies and fill in the gaps.

That turned out awesome! Your attention to detail kicks butt. :) (I’m tired and running out of “adult” ways to describe my feelings here) Anyway, VERY impressed. Holy Crap! That turned out awesome!
