This was my first attempt to make people and dogs - and I love it! Thank you a gazillion to Lorraine's (aine2) tutorial on how to make characters, it is extremely helpful and I am sooo glad I went for it and bought it. The people and dog are made of MMF, and the canoe is formed from gumpaste with royal frosting seats and a fondant middle piece (the royal broke, whoops) and then painted to look like the couple's cedar strip canoe.
