Doing this is an easy way to create a quick gumpaste. To get a smooth figure it is best to roll a very smooth ball in your hand and take that ball and begin to shape it for your piece and it should retain the smoothness as you shape it. I hope that I was clear in my explaining to you, I wish you the best my friend!

To create a figurine BODY….. start off with a ball of fondant and/or gumpaste then start rolling the ball into sort of a sausage shape with your 2 hands together (I hope this makes sense, lol) you will want to make it in proporthion to the head that you are making, then take your sausage shape and press the bottom against the table to flatten the bottom so that it will sit up on its own. Then taking your fingers and go from the middle of the standing sausage shape and smooth upwards making the top of the body smaller than the bottom of the piece. I know that it is very tough to explain this in writing so if you want to see me do this example please see the how to on Youtube where I made a sitting baby. Here is the link….http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0_IzKNEBEQ&feature=relmfu
This should give you the basic idea of how to make a body and the arms and legs as well. Just adjust the body size according to the head that you are making. Good luck to you!

I am just starting to learn how to use fondant and gumpaste and I was wondering how do you make the body for the head that you showed how to make in the video? I am hoping to have figured something out by Feb. It is my fiance’s 50 birthday and I want to make a golf themed cake for him and I would love to have the cake have a figure of him on it.
Thanks for the awesome video!!
Chrissy
