ADVANCED PROJECT
To ice cake, use white tube caulking and a toothpick. Cover cake completely with caulking using short, swirling motions. Allow to dry overnight.
Mix pastel green for leaves by kneading a bit of leaf green Fimo into white Fimo. For pink flowers, knead a bit of rose pink Fimo into white Fimo, and for yellow flowers, knead a bit of yellow Fimo into white Fimo. Roll each color out onto a flat surface to the thickness of your NUTSHELL NEWS cover. Hint: Lift slab of Fimo several times during rolling to prevent it from sticking to surface, or work on a ceramic tile. Using 3/16 inch Kemper leaf cutter, cut three leaves. With X-Acto knife, carefully score center vein and diagonal veins on each leaf. Arrange and glue three leaves to edge of cake. Using 3/16 inch Kemper flower cutter, cut two flowers, one each of pink and yellow. Put a touch of 527 in the center of the leaves. Pick up each flower with the tip of a toothpick and set in place on leaves. Continue with this method until the cake is decorated. Bake cake in oven at 250 degrees for 10 minutes. Glue cake topper to top of cake. Paint entire cake with thin coat of Fimo Matte Lacquer. When dry, glue cake to platter.
