Thank you so much guys for all your help. I was able successfully finish the cake with painting and all. I filled my cakes with whipped cream but frosted the outside with buttercream. My fondant remained nice and dry. I also refrigerated the cake in a cake box apparently the cake box absorbs all the moisture. Well it worked for me. I am going to follow this method for all my cakes now on.
Please do take a look at the cake. Would love to hear what you think.
