I stick mine directly under running water and squish it around until it’s good and sticky. It should be about 2″ in diameter (I don’t know how else to tell you the size).
If your loops push out at all or get out of shape, just push them back into a circle…
It should look like this:
Next you’ll take the non-flat bottom loops and start sticking them into the wet fondant. This second layer will get 5 loops. Don’t worry if there are a few spaces here and there – that’s where you can stick the tails (or even an extra loop if you want to at the end).
After each loop, you’ll want to squish it all back together tight. Do this each time so it doesn’t start to spread out on you…
