How do I keep fondant from hardening?!
So I am making my sister a lemon cake for her birthday and I really want to do a good job on it's appearance too :)
I've only worked with fondant once and i didn't know it would get THAT hard.
I will have to make the cake the night before and decorate it as well. Will the fondant no matter what get hard?
Does a thinner layer of fondant help?
Should I buy rolled fondant? The one I bought last time was the Duff Goldman fondant (from CHARM CITY CAKES).
Any suggestions?
I just don't want to wake up after baking and decorating the cake all night, and not be able to cut the cake because of the hard layer of fondant. Is Wilton's fondant better?
Any tips?

Answers:
fondant will harden regardless ,it is like a crust ,I rather have frosting it's not as sweet ,fondant is nice for looks but I find it too sweet and tasteless, if you make it add a bit of vanilla to it to give it a bit of taste, not only it is expensive, and some people usually remove it from the cake and in my opinion it is a waste of money. .
Bake it well.
