Step 4Mix and Spread The Medium

Mix and Spread The Medium
You want your medium to be very stiff when you insert your lettering so I used 1 3/4 cups of water instead of 2 1/4 the medium calls for then added it to the mold.

Instead of being able to smooth the medium once the project is done it has to be smoothed first since you won't be able to bounce the board or smooth it once the lettering is in place. I used a wide spackle spatula first then covered it with waxed paper and finished the job with a fondant smoother using an ironing type motion.

Once you are satisfied with how smooth the top is you are ready to begin decorating.
