re: Cracking/tearing fondant

Rub shortening over the cracks, rub it in gently. Let it sit overnight and they will disappear. It is because the fondant is dry and overworked. When I colour fondant I do it the day before I use it. Then it can sit overnight or longer before I start working with it again.
