Creating The Flowing Tail
Making sure you made a note of the middle of the board from Step 21, trace out the same pattern onto the fondant using a sharp paring knife and alternate and paint each one of the feather patterns using piping gel. Knead and roll out another layer of green fondant and cut using the same fan pattern. As you cut, peel off the alternating layers of fondant that aren’t stuck on by piping gel.
Using your trusty teardrop cutter again, knead and roll out your yellow fondant and cut teardrops to 3 different sizes. Then using your circle cutter, knead and roll out your purple fondant and cut out circles all in sizes that would be able to fit in each corresponding teardrop. Knead and roll out your blue fondant and cut half moon shapes using your half moon cutter and for the smallest half moon shapes, use a round piping tip and cut off half to create a crescent.
Mix yellow lustre dust with some food grade alcohol and apply using a paintbrush to your teardrop shapes. Mix blue lustre dust and food grade alcohol and then apply using a paintbrush to your half moon shapes.
