Roll out the icing to a thickness of 4-5mm and cover your cake, smoothing it all over with the fondant icing smoother to give it a professional finish. Leave the cake overnight to dry out slightly before decorating.
Put the cake on the turntable with a thick round cake board (smaller than the diameter of the cake itself) underneath the cake – this will allow you to pick the cake up from underneath without touching the gold paint.
Pour a tablespoon of the gold paint into a small container and take a clean, flat paintbrush approximately 2.5cm wide. Dip the brush into the paint and make loose, random brush marks all around the base of the cake.
Whilst the paint is still wet, use your middle finger and dip into the pot of gold glitter. Gently dab the glitter onto the paint to stick it to the cake.
Decorate your cake with a handmade paper wreath.
