Step 4Cover the cake with buttercream
I didn't have a photo of this step, but you'll want to cover the whole cake with a layer of buttercream. Don't put it on too thick or the weight of the fondant will push it out the sides and bottom. I'd aim for no more than 1/8" to 1/4" of buttercream.
In this step, use your buttercream to fill in the gaps and dips between the sections, or wherever your carving wasn't perfect. If it's thicker in those spots than 1/4" that's probably going to be fine.
You should do this in a cool room, since you won't be able to refrigerate it the cake. The middle of the summer with no A/C is not a good time to make your Pocky cake!
