Step 6Covering the body.
Note: You have two options here.
You can ice the body with cream cheese icing prior to this step, or skip it. On the original, i did ice the body, but it was difficult, and though it may have added some smoothness (and did cover up my too dark cake), I'm not sure it was worth the effort.
For the second mini dragon, pictured here, I skipped the cream cheese icing and I think it looks about as good.
Place your cake body (on its base) on top of an upturned cup or something else that will hold it up in the air. You'll be using gravity to help you get a nice drape.
Drape the fondant circle over your cake ball, and smooth.
Lift the body, turn over.
Remove the base.
Tuck the sides of the body under (but leave where the neck and tail should go, untucked.) See photos.
Place it back on your layout circle.
Note - photos are of small sized dragon.
