Possibly.and not sure .but could have been rolled out too thinly. Take around ball of the left over fondant, knead in your palm to heat up slightly, and rub over the crack. It will smooth it, as well as polish your cake.
You've done well.

aw awsome thanks i'll try that. i could see myself really liking fondant once i get the swing of using it. surprised how easy it is to colour and actually use it. thought it would be alot harder (even with the mistakes ive made lol. has anyone got any tricks of the trade. also do i leave it out to harden it! it does in the fridge (i usually use buttecream and fridge i find for myself is best) I've got icing pens and i really want to start using them

When I ice a cake with fondant, I leave it out with one of those net umbrellas over it. It will take a while for it to harden due to the muggy weather at the moment, but generally it should harden up in a day or so.
