   Do not take out the mixture from the mould before three days have passed. , Take a health drink packet and cut the bottom edge in the shape of one fourth of a circle.
   
   Wrap a rubber band or a thread around to close the bag.
   
   Make a small hole at the tip of the bag. , Then mix it all together well.
   
   Choose the poster color according to the color of the cake, or according to your preference. , Close the bag with either a rubber band or thread. , Create beautiful patterns on the cake.
   
   Let the cream dry for 1-2 days. , Once the cream has dried on the cake, you can add additional decorative elements if wished, or leave it as it is.
   
   Once everything has dried completely, the cake is ready to give as a gift or use as a decoration.
