Step 17:
Using a modelling tool,
create a crevice in the
cake.
Step 21:
Using a paper towel
lightly dipped into white
gel, gently press the white
onto the cake.
Step 18:
Shade the crevice with
black and grey edible
dust and a dry brush to
create depth.  Step 19:
Make sure to add a lot of
colour for a more intense
look. Step 20:
Using a water wipe, wipe
away the excess dust so it
is only in the crevices. Step 25:
Make marks in the helmet
using a modelling tool, so
it looks worn and torn.
Step 22:
Cover your board using
the same technique and
stack the cake. Step 23:
Cut out the first piece of
the helmet from skin tone
modelling paste. Step 24:
Make an indention down
the middle of the helmet. Step 29:
Also add some marks
to the second piece for
effect.
Step 26:
Stick the piece on to the
corner of the top cake.
Step 30:
Stick the piece on to the
corner of the top cake
a little bit below the first
one.
Step 27:
Cut out the second
piece of the helmet from
modelling paste. Step 28:
Using a cocktail stick,
roll up the edges of the
helmet.
Step 31:
Paint the whole helmet
gold using edible dust
mixed with alcohol. Step 32:
Divide the leaves in half
and start building your
wreath.
