When cold, cover with fondant and decorate as desired.

    4. If the fondant is too dry, add in a little of the remaining liquid. If too wet, add in more icing sugar. Turn fondant on to a clean work surface, dust with a little cornflour and knead till smooth. Cover with a plastic wrap till ready to use.
