LOL...yep I saw what YOU saw in the first pictures.....hahaha
He's coming together nicely though... Can't wait to see the finished product!

Oh boy Pepe sure is full of himself.. at least in your model so far he is full of chocolatey goodness!

Thanks for the sharing.

I can't wait to see him finished, Where can you get modeling chocolate or what recipe did you use and were the RKT made using the org. recipe or were they pre-made

Progress Pics:

I woke up this morning at 3:30 and I couldn't go back to sleep. Go figure. So, I got up and started working on Pepe some more. I couldn't stand having him in my kitchen with a blank stare. He kinda creeped me out. I have so much more to do on him. Let's see,

Add another layer to Eyelids: I want them to be above the eye... not level with it.

Ears

Hair

Finish covering in Fondant

Paint

Add stripe

Pass out due to lack of sleep


Option: I was thinking about making a modeling chocolate rose and inserting it into his mouth.

P.S. I'll go through the post and answer questions.

GI: The Modeling Chocolate is so easy to work with. So I just smush until I get the general shape. Then, if I'm modeling small figures, like my dragon... then I use my sculpting tools.

Molly2: I made the modeling chocolate and the RKT. I'll post both recipes if you'd like. I make my own marshmallows so I get more bang for my buck. Just let me know if anyone is interested in the recipes and instructions and I'll be glad to post them.

I would love the recipes and I love your Pepe

Molly

WOW! Love the Pepe! I'm having my morning coffee and reading your post, way better than the morning paper!!!

I would love your recipes. So, you made your RK's separate then the modeling chocolate and then just mushed them together and shaped them? I havent done any modeling yet but I may have to try after seeing the skunk!!

Thanks for the info, loved your humor especially this early in the a.m.!!!!

ginger

That is so amazing!! I'd love your recipes if you are willing to share, especially the making of your own marshamallows, how??

I'm like others, I cannot wait to see Pepe completed, during the first pics I was thinking "what on Earth is that???" but now I'm thinking you are a cake goddess... lol!

very awesome Pepe. Would love to see the rest.

Wow, Great job on Pepe!I would love your recipes too.Thanks!

w o w dude - your Pepe -- holy crap!! Surely you can spare some of your talent and send it here to little ol' West Allis LOL

I've been researching making marshmallows - your comment about saving you money is interesting to me -- is it really cheaper once you consider your time involved [[by the by, how long to make a batch of mm start to finish?]]?

Potato peeler?!? Apparently there is a lot I need to learn about RKT! Slopokesgirl, I am in awe of your talent!

wow,if pepe looks that good unfinished,i cant wait to see him all finished!! he is so cute!!

yep- you ROCK!

I would love your recipes too!

Thank you so much! Can't wait to see Pepe completed - A-DORABLE!

WOW!!!! Recipes...Please! Can't wait to see finished product...Amazing!

WOW - amazing!!

Please, do post the recipes!!

Is modeling chocolate similar to "candy clay" (mixture of melted candy melts and corn syrup)?

Does that combination dry hard? How long does it take to "set up"?


thanks for sharing!!!

recipes are a must! I love fresh marshmallows. I haven't made them in forever, it seems they are fairly quick and easy to make but it is waiting for them to set that is the hard part! do you add the butter to your RKT? I have found that if you leave that out your RKT sets harder - faster. I love Pepe you are doing great! Waiting to see the next pic

You have an amazing talent!!! Can't wait to see more pics. And please, please, please post recipes.

That is amazing - I would love the recipes to.

Thank you.

I'M DYING!!!! I can't wait to see Pepe all finished! He looks fabulous so far and I'd love to see your recipes, too! You are the shiznit

ur soooo talanted! sooo do u mix the rk w/ mm then them mash in the chocolate?

Looking forward to the finished product! Looking good so far. Please post the recipes!!!

He is looking great! I love that devonare smirk!
Um-wow on the MM! I don't have the patience for that! It's hard enough anxiously wating for the next peek!

Awesome PePe so far! Can't wait to see finished product. I would also like your recipes for the modeling choc the rk and the mm.TIA

You're all too funny !!! Love your work, can't wait to see the end product.

Too cute! I saw the first pic before I actually read any of the posts... and the first thing I thought was that it was some sort of kinky contraption. After reading the other posts, I can clearly see that my mind isn't the only one in the gutter... someone move over, the gutter is getting a bit cramped.

I'm dying to see the finished pics.

BTW, I actually have mixed the two together before too for a competition piece. It worked well - but I only made a base and didn't "sculpt" with it. Will have to try that!

It's looking great! I can't wait to see the finished piece! I would also love the recipes, I have yet to try and work with either and would love to attempt it

ok...I read the post...where's my finished PEPE!...
He is adorable..
