Step 10 To attach the half-moons, warm a frying pan over low heat. Take your decoration and very briefly press the cut edge onto the pan for 1-2 seconds to slightly melt it. This will create a sticky surface that will act as glue. Immediately press the halfmoon vertically onto your cake, lining it up with your guide marks and centering it vertically on the tier( I eyeballed this part!). Hold in place for a few seconds until it’ s set.
Step 11 Continue attaching all the pieces around the tier, alternating between yellow and purple. If a piece doesn’ t stick, it’ s most likely because the melted edge has already set, so simply reheat the edge on the pan and try again. Once all your half-moons are in place your bottom tier is fully decorated.
