I made these for my cousin's high school graduation. The penguin body is cake ball, shaped by hand. Feet and beaks are candy fish, similar to Runts. Top of mortar board hat is Chocolate squares (Ghirardelli, I think), covered in red candy melts. Base of hat was candy melts formed in small PB cup mold. Tassel is Twizzlers pull and peel attached with red mini M&M. I used a spoon to add the thick layer of white candy over the black.
