First lets start with our gumpaste decoration and find what we want to stand out, here i chose a mini handbag and I want the hearts to pop out abit more! So all you do is dip your brush into the glaze and wipe away the excess. Apply the glaze to the hearts and that's it. I added abit extra on the top, sides and handle of the bag It dries smooth and really quickly.
