Step 12: Step 9: Step 10: Paint the side of the joined circles with sugar glue. Cut out a ribbon of white fondant and wrap it around the outer circle to hide the seam. Very gently paint some sugar glue in the areas you want to put some glitter. Shake some glitter over the bauble and let dry. Step 11: Use a small petal cutter and a balling tool to create the hanger for the bauble. Mix a little royal icing to gently place your bauble onto your cake. Secure it with pins while it dries. You might need to leave it overnight. You can add a little tylose into your royal icing to quicken the drying time. Add the bauble hanger once the bauble is on the cake. Add in some detail by drawing a string line using a ruler and edible marker. You can make any shape you want! The Christmas tree is made using the exact method as above, by using a template instead of circle cutters. f
