A friend of mine is having her bday in a couple of weeks, She loves yorkies and looking for ideas found this pic of a polymer clay fig. I LOVE IT, I was thinking about a 2 tier cake 8 and 6x4" on top, and fondant figure, maybe dont know , need a lot of help!!!
Have you worked with fondant or gumpaste before??
I have worked with fondant and mmf, and some sculping (mmf and polymer clay) but Im a newbie willing to learn!!
Well, you probably aren't going to be able to find any instructions for something that detailed. My best suggestion to you is just to take a piece out and start playing! It will be slightly harder b/c of some of the details. But I don't think anyone would really be able to tell you exactly how to do it unfortunately.
Thanks, I will follow your advise, and start playing rigth now, I dont think they will be eating the dog itself, could I use a foam or aluminum foil ball and fondant for the dog? just b/c of the size? Thanks!
You lost me----foil ball for what part of it?? How big do you want to make this?
I got another pic of a dog...is less difficult I think...
That is a better picture. If you look at the dog, just pick out the individual parts to it and assemble that way. Make a round ball for his head, paws, ears, nose, bow etc. I think it would be fine! Good luck!!!
Im sorry! i lost you! I was thinking of making the mug out of a 6x4 cake and the fondant dod on top, so the head sould be king of big...4" aprox, my q is: can I make a aluminum foil ball and work with the fondant around? maybe is a silly q, but I have never done anything like this and I have being dreaming about this cake for two days!
Oh I really think that would be way too big to make the head out of fondant to fit in a 6" cake, unless you had some "filler" in there. Plus that would be a lot of fondant! What about making this as a topper to fit on top? Is that an option?
thats a really good idea!!! and more "doable" for me... thanks a lot, by the way I LOVE ALL YOUR CAKES are just a work of art....Claudia
Oh well thank you!!! I agree about the foil bit too, not sure that it would work. What might be easier too is to make the mug from cake. Cut it to be the shape of a mug. Make sense? Then make the puppy for the top! This is a cute idea!
Hi,
look at this link here i think this can help you with the cake you plan to do
because he idea is more or less the same

I don't have a Yorkie any more, but used to breed and show them years ago...wish I had another one! The second picture is very cute and looks doable in fondant or candy clay, etc. I can't see the first picture at all, wish I could...love those little dogs!
I'd sure like a cake topper too! Janice
