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

I used to make cakes from wilton magazines, just for my family. All my family went away (they grow up). I would like to learn how to make figures and flowers in fondant and gumpaste as a hobby . I loved the video of how to make faces. I really like your pictures. How can I watch others how-to-videos. Thank you

I used to do cakes and take orders for quite a while but at this time I only do them for friends and family due to my schedule and such……….

I am truly amazed at your beautiful artwork! I am always searching for ideas and found your website so so helpful. The bow you placed on the pale blue heeled shoe caught my eye. After watching your video, I was able to make a large yellow bow out of fondant for my nephew’s shower cake last week; the top was a large fondant sunflower. I had the great pleasure of making his wedding cake and was really nervous about using fondant to cover the cake; however, your tip for buying Pettinice fondant saved the day! It is like silk and so easy to work with; I am sold! Thank you for sharing your gift; I have learned so much from you just by absorbing myself in your website!
Christine

Thank you for the creative work you have published for us. Really amazing work. Have a small doubt….. if you are not taking orders, you make cakes for passion? I started making cakes for sometime back, but recently i have taken it seriously and learning more skills from the websites, they really help me a lot.

Thank you once again,
Wish you all the best and God bless you!!
