Try the sample
  • Scalpel
  • Dresden tool
  • Frilling stick (or ball tool)
  • Florist wires (two small pieces)
  • Flower paste (gum paste) or modelling paste or sugarpaste (fondant)*
  • Edible glue
  • White vegetable fat f.ex. Trex (to grease hands)

* You'll find the amounts in the 'AMOUNTS' tab. If you decide to use sugarpaste (fondant) add CMC to the paste to make it thicker, otherwise the cake topper will sink. Keep on adding the CMC until the paste gets thicker (you need too use more pressure to knead it). Add it shortly before forming the parts. If you let the paste sit for a long time after adding the CMC it will become dry and crumbly. It will be difficult to get a smooth finish.
