Homer Simpson's 3D Doughnut Trophy

Step 6 Ice the doughnut with hot melt glue

Taking care not to burn yourself, flow a generous layer of hot melt, glue gun glue over the top of the doughnut. This bit is reasonably tricky to get just right. But not that hard. this doughnut pictured here was my first go.

I did the doughnut top one side at a time. I put some glue on quite fast and then held the doughnut and turned it round and upside down to control where the glue went before it set a bit.

Then being very careful not to burn myself or touch the partially set glue I tackled the other side while the first area was still reasonably hot so that the two sides would blend somewhat as they set. In fact they blended perfectly.

The only trouble was, that i decided to touch the surface to see if it was set and becuse it wasn't completely set i picked up a bit on my finger. I wanted a perfect finish, so a blemish like this would have been annoying. two factors saved me. One i cut the chomp out over the blemish, two when the icing is spray painted and had sugar strands all over it, most blemishes are covered up.
