With a pastry brush I applied some water on one layer (doesn't matter which really). To easily transfer the other layer onto this one, roll it around the rolling pin and then transfer so you don't rip the dough. I applied the water to help it stick together.
Trim the edges so it looks nice and clean and then its time to bring out the sprinkles! YAY.

Preheat the oven to 180C.
