Anne, use the Viva paper towel method. It smooths it right up! Just let your butter cream crust over a little, then take a paper towel with no pattern embossed on it, (you can use a flour sacking tea towel too, just make sure it is ironed smooth) and then use a smoothing tool that you would use for fondant and gently put pressure on the towel and press as if you were ironing.

Thank you Anne...this was a first: First time using gum paste, first try at faux fondant, and first time making shoes, bear, duck, and keys out of gum paste. There are lots of boo boos on this cake!

Nope, not a one, Ruby. Just from what I have learned from all of you guys and tutorials on line, and practice.

Love this cake Linda. I've never heard of faux fondant, but executed it very well. LOL. I love those short cuts! Did you take any decorating classes. Your a fabulous decorator.
