Step 2:
Step 1:
Select the size for your
bauble. For this tutorial
I have used 45mm and
57mm. Mix some tylose
into your turquoise
fondant and roll it out
to approximately 3mm
thickness.

Dust your workbench with
a little cornflour and cut
out two identical circles.
It’s best to have let the
fondant sit out for a while
before you cut them out –
this will help them retain
their shape. Leave them
on the board to harden.

Mix a little tylose into your
white fondant and roll it
out a little thinner this time
– around 2mm. Using the
box cutter blade to cut
some thin strips.

Step 8:

Only when the circles can
be moved and keep their
shape, flip them over and
paint the rim of one with
some sugar glue. Place it
over the fondant strips.

Using a scalpel blade
cut off the excess strips.
Leave this to harden for
approximately 30 minutes.

Flip the striped section
over and paint the rim of
the other circle with sugar
glue.

Place the second circle in
place, like a sandwich.

Step 4:
Arrange these strips on
the board. You can make
any design you like.
