Step 1.
Cover your cakes with green fondant for the base tier
and blue for the top tier: these will be your base colours
to work on. Stack your cakes using dowels for support
and a central dowel for stability. Place on the tilting cake
stand at a comfortable angle to work with.

First, create the sun as this needs drying. Make a 3x3”
gum paste circle and insert a 20 gauge wire. Leave to

Steps 3a-d.
Make the sun’s rays by extruding different tones of
yellow fondant mixed with gum paste and making twirls

Once the sun disc is dry, put the whirls randomly on it.
You can overlap some whirls to give depth to your sun.
