  8. Put the shape onto a grease pan starting from the biggest ring.
  9. Make sure to have enough dough in the cookie press otherwise it may fall apart when you take it out.
  10. Make some little pat on the ring so it will become smoother and better.
  11. Do this 6 times to achieve 18 rings. And each ring is a unique size.
  12. If you don’t have a cookie press, take the dough, put it on a clean counter or surface, and then roll it out about ½ inch to an inch.

  8. Put the next biggest ring on top of the first ring gently.
  9. Make the zigzag pattern again on the second ring.
  10. Repeat the step until all the rings are line up and form into a cone-like tower.
  11. Place the leaf and the flower beautifully on the tower.
  12. Use icing sugar as glue. Just a dab, not much.

  13. To work on the leaves, apply the matcha tea powder onto a piece of fondant, gently roll that in, and then push it together.
  14. Do the white flower first, then do the green because chances are there’ll be some of the dye left on the skin, even if you wash your hands, or it will be on the counter.
  15. For the leaf make it 2-3 millimeters the thinnest otherwise it may break.
  16. Use the little cookie cutters for the leaf.
