Does anyone know of a tutorial or a website anything at this point on how to make a person from fondant?? I am having a very hard time and I need to make it look good. Please can anyone help me.....
YouTube has alot of helpful tutorials...but these are the absolute best: http://www.extraicing.co.uk/#/sugarcraft-tutorials/4530759830
Try the clear plastic chocolate molds for people. They are around 2 bucks each and super easy to use. There is a man, woman, and a child mold. Each mold has separate body parts and fondant or gumpaste is easily pushed in the mold and then you put the body together.
I am actually making people with it tonight. This is the second time Ive used it and it works like a charm.
I agree Lorraine McKay is the best! What type of person are you trying to make? Little girl, boy, sitting, standing?
I have never used them, but in the Michael's in my town, they have people molds in the clay department.
great idea to use the chocolate people molds! I love making things out of fondant but people are sooo challenging, I definitely could use help
First of all, what are you using for the modeling? Gumpaste, Fondant with Tylose, Candy Clay?
I like to use Fondant with tylose. It gives me a little longer to work before it hardens. For the standing men, you are going to want to put something in their legs to give a little extra support, like spagetti or toothpicks. Make the legs first and let them dry a while before adding the weight of the torso. Too much weight on the legs right away will cause them to squish down and wrinkle.
I don't know how much time you have before you need the figures, but you might want to invest in a couple of Lorraine's tutorials. Sculpy clay books are also very helpful, and I also like Debbie Brown's books.
Thank you all so much for all your help. I am looking into Lorraine's tutorials right now and I think that is the way I am going to go. I want them to look good. Thank you all again
