Step 5: Line the cake with sugar paste

Knead the FunCakes Covering Paste well and roll it out to a thickness of 1 ½ to 2 mm and line the cake with it.  Color the rest of the fondant in various shades with the Food Color Gels. Roll it out thinly and cut out different sizes of hearts. Let it air dry.
