I agree with Sawsen above. It sounds as if you are putting the icing straight onto the cake, you must have either marzipan, buttercream or ganache under the icing, you would be better starting again as advised. Look on Youtube for some ‘how to’ videos to get you on your way. I hope that it goes well. xx
