Step 3 & 4 :
To secure the skewer firmly in place , roll out a long fondant sausage and use water to glue the fondant in place over the skewer ( making sure the fondant sausage wraps all the way around the skewer ). Repeat the above three steps for the second antler and leave both of the antlers to dry until set firm ( roughly 24hrs )
Ears
Step 5 & 6 :
Once both the antlers are dry , it ’ s time to paint on the gold ! Mix a small amount of cake decorating alcohol with a portion of Rolkem Super Gold dust . You are aiming for a nice medium consistency - not too watery but not thick and gluggy . Continue to add either the gold dust or the alcohol until you achieve the right consistency . Flip the antlers over so that the front of the antlers are now facing towards you . Go ahead and paint the front and sides of your antlers , being sure to paint in one direction . You may have to do one or two coats . Once they ’ ve been painted , set aside .
Step 1 : Step 2 :
Roll out your brown fondant to 4mm thick and cut out two love hearts using the largest of the two love heart cutters . Roll out your white fondant to 2mm thick and cut out two love hearts using the smallest cutter .
Turn your love hearts upside down ( so that the point of the heart is at the top ) and glue the white hearts inside the brown love hearts . You now have the base for your ears !
Step 3 :
Pinch the bottoms of the ears to give them a slightly cupped shape . Dip a quarter of a toothpick in water and insert a quarter of the toothpick into the bottom of the ear .
Step 4 :
Paint the white parts of the ear gold ( see step 5 in Antlers method ). Once painted , set the ears to the side .
