Step 5 & 6: Create some free-hand drips and splashes out of the left over caramel brown fondant. Place these accents where you see fit using water to adhere to the board. Secure your lollipops in place on the board with royal icing. Step 7, 8 & 9: Place the candy corn all around the cake as accent pieces. You can also place the cut candy corns into the caramel to appear as if they are sinking and stuck. Secure with water. Place the pretzels in any available spaces left on the cake board. Secure with royal icing. Add the final finishing touches with some more caramel drips and splashes as you see fit. Step 10: Before you place the sharpened dowel into the apple cake as the handle, tie the ribbon around it first. Do not push the dowel all the way down, twist it, about 3”- 4” into the cake. Step 11: Finally, hot glue a ribbon around the edge of your cake board to cover the edges as a finishing touch. f facebook.com/AndreasSweetcakes
