  Dust a flat surface with cornstarch. Using a rolling pin, roll out the white fondant to at lease 16 by 18 inches large (about 1/8 inch thick).

  One at a time, spread some water on the back of each red fondant strip with your finger and attach to the cake, as shown, trimming the strips as needed. (Do not use too much water, or red dye will bleed.)
