oh wow. okay I will try the excess cornflour and really thin fondant and hopefully it will work! im sure it will ;) thanks for the advice

regarding the cream cheese, i usually choose not to ever cover the cake in fondant if it has a layer on the outside, of cream cheese...will try the whit chocolate ganache ;) thanks man :)

Hi Carlette, Not this one, it's just white chocolate ganache then fondant. A thick filling of cream cheese frosting to give the Red Velvet it's taste. 

For the tapits, I add a bit more corn flour to the fondant (to make it stronger but not dry when I roll the edges still stay smooth) and roll it really thin (see through even) and then lots of corn flower below the fondant and also dip the tapit cornflour before cutting and then the tap (actually whack!) works. :-)
