Hello - Does anyone have any recommendations/tips on how to make this flat giraffe topper?

I always have such a hard time with my toppers!

Thanks!

AI would cut it out of gumpaste and put skewers at the back of the legs to attach it to th cake. Make sure you cover the skewers with more gumpaste/royal. Let it dry for as long as you can (days preferably). And don't roll the gumpaste too thinly, this is difficult with the long neck. Have an extra in case you break number 1!
