Instructions

  • Fashion a bow from a Fruit by The Foot strip, using small dabs of frosting as adhesive. Secure a loop for the bow's base, wrap a tiny rectangle around it, and add two angled strips at the base. Insert rolled pieces under the loops for volume.

  • If using a skull template, print, cut, and trace it onto parchment paper. Anchor it to the middle of your serving board.

  • Employ an offset spatula to level the frosting and etch lines at the base of the skull for definition.
