Step 4 Put In Dehydrator for 10 minutes on 35C to encourage icing to start setting . Leave to sit and air dry for 8-12 hours . While it ’ s drying , peel your tree transfers off the texture sheet and use a paintbrush to add some silver painted highlights to the textured side to make it pop .
Step 5
Time to peel and reveal your textured sky ! Peel the edge of the Sweet Sheet away from the dried icing slowly and carefully . It should peel off the icing cleanly and easily . If the icing is still sticking to the Sweet Sheet , it ’ s still wet and needs more drying time .
Step 6 Using a dry brush in a backand-forth motion , brush blue shimmer across the Sky to make the texture pop .
Step 7
Outline and flood the lake . Pop into the dehydrator for 10 minutes and let dry .
Step 8 Step 9 Once dry , “ polish ” lake with blue shimmer to give it a reflective , shimmery appearance to look like a frozen lake .
Outline and flood the Snow segments one at a time . While icing is still wet gently press tree transfers into the snow . Let the icing crust a little then pipe on tree trunks , use scribe to shape and tidy the trunks . Pop back into the dehydrator or leave to air dry .
