Top Tip:
I like to use a razor blade
(very carefully!) as the long
straight edge is useful for
cutting straight lines.1 Photocopy the templates or cut
them out. Place onto a foam pad
and use a pin to prick a hole through
every corner. Roll out the pale grey
fl ower paste, place the template on
top and push the pin into each hole,
marking the paste below.2 Use a Dresden tool or similar
to score over the dotted lines,
leaving a faint impression in the
paste below.4 Carefully cut out the windows,
producing a complete piece then
place into a plastic wallet to stop
it drying.CAKE ARTIST:

IMMACULATE CONFECTIONS3 Remove the template and cut out
the houses, joining the dots made
with the pin.5 Repeat with the second and
third templates using the mid
and dark grey, the colours
corresponding to the template,
storing fi nished pieces in the
plastic wallet.6 Use a little water to wet the
back of the mid grey pieces and
place them onto the pale grey,
lining up the roofs. If the bottom
edge is not quite straight/
matched up you can trim it
once assembled. ➜- fl oral tape: white
