Fruit cake is a holiday item here in the US. The one's that I have made are
baked at low temperature for a long time and cracking isn't a problem. I
would think that you could just level the top of the cake with a knife and
turn it upside down so the top is perfect and the cake sits level on the
cake board. Are you going to cover the cake in marzipan and rolled fondant?
