Step 1: Mix hot water and some Sugerveil. Whisk until the mixture becomes nice and foamy.

Grab the brooches mat complete with various designs of brooches which are essential to create the topper later. Scoop up some icing and add it into the mat. Use Sugarveil fin to smear the icing all over the mat. As you do this, you will notice the designs start to form. Remove the excess icing. Use moist cloth cloth to clean the edges.

Step 2: Apply icing on the brooches and lace mats and smear it using Sugarveil fin.

Take the lace mat. Add some icing into the mat and repeat the procedure. Leave the two mats for about 4 hours to dry. If the icing is not tacky when touched, then it is ready to be a cake topper.

Step 3: Leave the icing to dry.

Now, we are going to remove the icing from the mat. Carefully lift the edges of the icing. If all the edges are lifted, put it facedown and use spreader to gradually take out the icing. This should be done inch by inch to avoid damage to the icing.

Step 4: If the icing is not tacky, remove it carefully from the mat.

Grab the circle cutters. Take the biggest one to create a large circle which serves as the base of the topper. Grab the gum paste and circle cut a large piece.

Step 5: Create a circle base of the cake topper from gum paste.

Take the icing from the brooches mat and cut out one of the circle designs to be placed on top of the base. Choose any design you want, ensure it is large enough to support the three-tier topper. Use scissors to trim it out. Cut various sizes of circle designs which will serve as the tops of the project.

Step 6: Cut out various sizes of circle designs from the icing.

Grab the icing from the lace mat and cut the edges.

Step 7: From the lace icing, cut out the edges which look like laces.

Bring back the circle cutters. Choose 1.5 inch, 1.25 inch and 1 inch cutters. We will begin with the largest. Wrap the lace around the cutter to measure how much we need and cut it. Brush a bit of water on the edges to stick the lace together. As you remove the cutter, we are left with the first tier of the topper. Repeat the step with the other sizes of circle cutters.

Step 8: Grab a circle cutter and measure the lace icing around it, creating the tier of the topper.

Assemble the parts on your working area. Start with the circle base, place the first tier. Apply a little bit of water to secure the first tier on the base. Then, place the largest of the remaining circles on top. Follow the same arrangement until you have put the smallest circle last.
