Hello there Chef Yener. I hope that all is well with you.
Could you please tell me what the diameter is of the ring that you use to shape the rainbow?
Thank you.

I am sorry I can not remember. you have to choose according to your cake size.
how do you stop the hair going dry and breaking, ive tried the hair on a mini unicorn and the hair all broke off or apart???
I want to try this one when I figure out how to sort the hair issue
use oil spray when you shaping and water spray when you gluing.
that is so gorgeous, thank you for the tutorial. can I just ask is the hair made from modelling paste????
