Ingredients

• 100g/4oz white ready-to-roll icing
•   florist's wire, cut into small lengths
•   non-edible gold colouring
•   icing, to cover cake and board
•   ribbon

Method

1. Roll out 100g/4oz white ready-to-roll icing and cut out eight different-sized shapes with star cutters.
2. Push a small length of florist's wire through the centre of each star so it doesn't show.
3. Decorate the stars with non-edible gold colouring and leave them to harden on greaseproof paper.
4. Cover the cake and board with icing and tie a ribbon around the cake.
5. Paint stars on the rim of the board with gold colouring and carefully push in the cut-out stars.
