Step 13
Squiggle some piping icing along the bare cookie area of seat piece 5 .
Step 14 Step 15 Push the glued together seat pieces 6 and 7 up against the wet icing to create the now assembled sleigh seat .
Use the gold paint ( or powder mixed with a bit of Vodka ) and the small brush to paint the gold iced piping .
Step 16
Use the green paint ( or powder mixed with a bit of Vodka ) and the flat brush to paint the entire back part of the chair , the top edge ( including a 1cm section of the sides at the top ) and the front edge ( the bits of the raw cookie that will be visable once the sleigh is assembled , you might notice that I forgot to paint the front edge of my seat ! Something I only noticed after taking all the photos !)
Step 17
Use the brown piping consistency icing to pipe around all edges of the bottom ( piece 3 ) and pipe 3 equally spaced lines parallel to the long side of the cookie , then add 2 short lines on the 1st and 3rd rows , as shown in the picture ( to mimic wooden planks ).
Step 18 Flood the 2nd and 4th rows and allow to crust over . Then flood the bottom sections of the 1st and 3rd rows and allow to crust over . Then flood the top sections of the 1st and 3rd rows and allow to crust over .
