Pink topsy turvy cake

My first topsy turvy cake. Sorry about the bad light. It was about 2 in the morningI had a couple of problems with the fondant. It started drying and cracking.
I used three each of a  6 in., 8 in., and a 10 in. And three batches of homeade vanilla fondant. I think I should of used four batches, in the end I started rolling out the fondant thinner and thinner. It made the fondant dry and it started to crack. So the secret here is, don't roll out to thin and make sure you kneed it just enough to warm it up. And try not to add too much powder sugar while kneading.
