lightly dipped into white
gel, gently press the white
onto the cake.

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:

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.

piece of the helmet from
modelling paste. Step 28:
Using a cocktail stick,
roll up the edges of the
helmet.

mixed with alcohol. Step 32:
Divide the leaves in half
and start building your
wreath.
