Decorating

1. Cakes with crumb coating should be refrigerated for 2 hours+ or overnight. Each cake should have a cake board underneath that is trim to the size of the cakes.
2. For the base tier, use Wilton bamboo dowel rods cut to length so it is just below the surface of the cake.
3. For second tier, just use plastic straw.
5. Make batches of rolled marshmallow fondant. Use 3 shades of blue fondant to cover the cakes. Then stack them. Cut a Wilton bamboo dowel rods to just short of the whole cake height, sharpen the tip with pencil sharpener, and insert the rod all the way through the 3 tiers. You may need to turn the rod so it can penetrate the cake boards.
6. Now you can decorate the cake freely.
