remove from the refrigerator poor the nonpareil decors into a shallow rectangular dish such as a 9x13 pan.
peel off the top sheet of waxed paper from both dough's. brush the vanilla dough very lightly with water. using the waxed paper lift the dough and flip it onto the other dough, so they are stacked. press with fingertips to seal the dough's together. remove the top sheet of waxed paper and trim the edges.
when the dough is pliable but still cold roll up beginning with the long end. as you roll gently curl the edges with your fingertips.
