Always read the project sheet in full before starting your cake!
To make your own modelling paste, add a little tylo to your fondant.
Allow the modelling paste shapes to sit and firm up for a short time before attaching to your cake.
If your modelling paste is sticking to your tools or mat use your FMM Dab-a-Dust for dusting with cornflour or icing sugar.

(PREPARE 48 HOURS IN ADVANCE) Roll out the white flower paste/gum paste. Cut out the cot panels and leave to dry for 24 hours. Once completely dry assemble as per cot instructions.
