I'm pretty new to model making and someone has asked me to make a vw campervan cake topper, they want it height 7cm width 7cm and length 11cm.
Is using gumpaste the best way to make a topper this big, is there something different i can make it with that will dry quicker?
If not how long will something made out of gunpaste this big take to dry?
Is there a way to speed up the drying process?
They don't want to eat the figures they want to keep them "forever"
Any advice greatly appreciated!!

Thanks

I would use modeling chocolate.... things that are too big re not done best with gumpaste.... hth

OR...

carve it out of foam and cover with gumpste or modeling chocolate.... that would be besty if they want to save it...

Thanks that sounds great.
Just for future reference why is it not ideal to make something this big out of gumpaste?

You can also make it out RKT and cover with fondant
