Figure making

Tried my hand in making figures again today.. I still think I have a lot to improve. I made a man figure sleeping on his belly. The first step, assemble all the body parts :

I have shaped the hand and legs before gluing the parts together with some water. For the head, you may refer to my earlier post on making a baby. Now for the clothing. Drape a square piece of fondant over the buttock. Wrap around the body.

Then make a slit in the middle of the fondant, join the parts to make a short pant.

With the modelling tool, press to make the curve for his back. Do the same for the soles of his feet.

Flatten a round black fondant and glue it to the head for the hair. I cheated to make the eyes. I just dip the end of a small straw in black gel colour and press to make the sleeping eyes shape.

Hmm..what do I think of this guy ? Well, the butt really looks good . Muscular. The neck should have been a little bit higher.

I don’t know, I leave it to you guys to judge. Nite nite everyone.

Hi Kuireena, thanks for your comment, will try to improve next time .

Eris, fondant and sugarpaste is the same thing. I bought the gum trag at Eazy Bake, ada in the rack in the middle of the shop. I asked the staff the same thing, I dont think they are well versed with what they are selling.. this shop was recommended by one of my reader. Yes, you should deco your cupcakes with fondant, in the market they are selling in blue packet called Pettinice.

K.Min,
Perkynya! hahaha..
Btw, it’s almost perfect, tapi pada pandangan mata amaturku ini, nampak mcm the arms mcm terbesar sikit from the calf (he overtrained the upper body part kut? hehe). Anyways, he still looks really ‘yummy’… to eat la..

Alamak, looks like this entry is causing too much controversy !! (and rated 18SX) Sorry on my part, didn’t intend it to be that way.. but thank you friends, so funny reading all your comments .

Aishah, I use 50:50 sugarpaste and gumpaste ratio. You can also try the Modelling paste recipe which I posted under ‘sugarpaste’ category. Next time I must remember not to make a hunk !
