Half-Moon Decorations For the bottom 10 inch cake tier, we’ re creating bold and simple halfmoon decorations. They’ re easy to make and add a fun and modern touch to your cake!
Step 1
Turn over your baking tray and tape down your A4 acetate sheet, making sure it sits flat without any bumps or buckling. The acetate will give your decorations a smooth and shiny finish, but if you don’ t have acetate a silicone mat works just as well.
Step 2
Now it’ s time to melt your Colourmelts! Place the yellow Colourmelts into a microwave safe bowl and follow the packet instructions to fully melt until runny and smooth. Please make sure you stir every 30-40 seconds to prevent overheating and distribute the heat evenly.
