Finishing touches
1 Dust a work surface with cornstarch. Roll out the remaining accent color fondant until it is ⅛ in (3 mm) thick. Use the medium flower cutter to cut out one flower per dress (for the corsage). Optionally, cut an additional 15–20 flowers per dress with the small flower cutter to form a floral hem.
2 If creating a hem, brush the bottom of edge of the skirt with a little water. Arrange a row of small flowers along the bottom of the skirt. Using the veining tool (pages 11), poke the tip of the veiner into each flower, pressing the flower into the bottom of the dress. This will result in a seamless flower border around the bottom of the dress.
3 To add a flower corsage, dab the dress top with a little water where you want to place the corsage. Press a medium flower onto the area with your fingers. Dab the flower with a little water and place a center a small flower on top.
4 Use the piping bag filled with royal icing tinted to match the accent color and fitted with a #2 tip to pipe flourishes around each flower. Optionally, pipe several decorative dots on the waist band.
5 To adhere the optional hanger to the dress, apply a dot of royal icing on the back of each shoulder on the back of the dress. Press the bottom of the hanger to it and hold for a few seconds. See pages 113 for an example of a dress with the optional floral hem and hanger in place.
