Method

Surround each iced cake with a length of ribbon secured in position with royal icing. Roll out the petal paste and use the base of a no. 4 plain nozzle to cut out polka dots. Push the end of a small paintbrush through the nozzle to release the polka dot and fix into position on the cake with sugar glue. Arrange the individual cakes on the stand.
