I have fondant in my pantry. Bought it to make ghost for Halloween! I haven't fooled with it. The instructions are pretty simple. If you make one big tooth all you need do is shape your cake layers. Do the shave and shape to the type of tooth. I think you put the fondant over the buttercream frosting on the cake. Just lay the fondant over it. The one I have is white. I think it comes in white and you add color to change it.Good Luck!
