Height of the tree trunk: 12.5 cm (5 inch)
Flower paste (gum paste):
green - 25 g
brown - 26 g
Sugarpaste (fondant):
1 g leftovers from covering the cake
26.
Roll a 2-3 mm wide sausage of sugarpaste* (fondant; leftovers from covering the cake). Stick it to the side of the cake where you want the palm tree to go. Flatten the sausage slightly. Apply a small amount of glue on the sausage and press the tree trunk to the flattened sausage. Hold it for a short while until you feel that it holds by itself.
If you are worried that the tree trunk might fall off, support it by placing something heavy near the board and pushing some paper towels between the palm tree and that heavy item.
Spread the leaves nicely. If they stick out of the board a little, don’t worry - since they are on wires you’ll be able to bend them slightly before placing in a box (or place the cake in the box so that the palm tree is in the corner).
*You can add some flower paste (gum paste) to the sugarpaste (fondant) to make the paste stronger.
