Step 14
Add a stitching look to the blanket by painting around the edges with a brown edible food pen.

Step 20
Mix yellow powder colour with Liquid Shiny confectioners glaze. Paint both sides of the star and allow to dry. Mix white powder colour with Liquid Shiny confectioners glaze and paint white dots on the stars.
