Trace the outlines onto the fondant using the flower and
leaf shaping tool. Once traced, remove the parchment
paper. You should see the imprinted design on the
fondant. Do the same for the bottom tier.
Steps 6a-d.
Tint the fondant different tones of green and yellow.
Extrude a variety of lengths of fondant in order to make
twirls for the fields. Work on the bottom tier first. Place
a little edible glue in the area you want to cover and
twirl your string, making continuous elongated S shapes.
Have large random twirls on the bottom tier and smaller
sausage shapes towards the bottom third of the top tier
to give an impression of distance.
Next, prepare your 6” in the same way as the 10” (with
a collar and rod to trap it in place). Then stack your
covered 6” cake (on its platform) on top of the 8” cake.
Steps 7a-c.
Tint some fondant to create different tones of blue/
grey – these will make the hills. The darker the colour,
the nearer the perspective of the hill is. So to have three
distances, you need to make large hills dark, the slightly
smaller and lighter hills behind the big ones and lastly,
the hills in the distance really light.
