Happy 25th Anniversary. And to celebrate, let's cut the cake, pour the champagne and make a toast to the most wonderful hobby in the world!
Cake: Knead white Fimo and press into the four layer cake pans. The top of each layer should be pressed flat (not rounded) and do not allow Fimo to extend over the rim on pans. Bake pans of Fimo in oven at 250 degrees for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and place in refrigerator for 20 minutes. Remove cake layers from pans. With 527 Multipurpose Cement, glue together the two larger layers and the two smaller layers. Then glue four bugle beads, spacing them evenly, to the top of cake bottom. Allow glue to dry thoroughly, then glue cake top to top of bugle beads. After several minutes, additional glue may be added to reinforce the cake.
