I want to be like you when I grow up! I saved this for my Bama hubby. Can you PM me if you have time on how you rounded out the bottom belly and did the bent leg?

His legs are dowels that support a wooden platform that his body and the cake rest on. The head is rice treats with a dowel drilled into the wood plate for support. the ears are were the seems for covering the head ould be and the trunk is wired gum paste. Lots of structure :)
