Fourth of July Cake: Adding Fondant Stripes to Flag

Video Transcript

"Now we can transfer it onto our white flag. And you'll need a very tiny bit of water to use as glue. You don't want to use too much water, or it will, it'll moisten the fondant too much. So we'll place just a tiny bit of water there, and place a stripe like this. And I'm just doing it; I'm not finishing the edges or anything. Later I will cut the edges and trim them up. I think that our blue star now is ready to; our corner piece is ready to go on. Again, just a tiny bit of water acts as glue. Use a nice spatula. See how it has firmed up a little, so it's an a little easier to transfer onto our flag, and you can place that down like that, and let's put some more stripes on our flag. Just just a slight bit of water; not a lot; you have to be very gentle with the fondant, because as you're working with it it can stretch, so you want to have a very light touch with the fondant. I'm going to use my roller cutter to cut an another stripe. And you might have to go over that cut with a knife just to pull it apart. If it gets stuck to the board you can just take a knife and carefully peel it off. And lay your stripes down. And once you have your stripes, then you can trim the whole flag."
