I need to make a figure of a sexy girl for a b-day cake in May...has anyone tried this using MMF? Does it work the same as regular fondant? I have covered cakes in MMF and it seems to be a bit elasticky. A few tips and/or tricks before I start would be greatly appreciated! Maybe let me know how it went for you....mistakes and all! Thanks!

(pics would be great too!)

I've never made a sexy girl but I did many chaste things by using MMF. Knead it before you model something. This makes the MMF smooth. Cover your hands and the table with cornstarch - not too much.
Regular fondant and MMF can used in same way.

you might want to add some gumtex or maybe even some fixodent (works in a pinch) so that way it'll dry harder than regular MMF

Have a Barbie doll nearby, so you have something to look at. In my photos, Tinks legs are MMF. Everyone thought it was part of the doll. MMF is great for modeling.

so how did you get her legs to be that color? Just keep messin' with it till it was right? Geez, I dunno if I have an 'eye' for that yet! I sure hope so...I gotta go find me a Barbie Doll!
Thanks gang!!!

The color for her legs - let's see, I started with ivory and then just a touch of pink and brown, just a touch! If you don't have ivory start with a very small amount of brown and pink and keep going 'til you get what you want.

If you don't have a Barbie, go to a dollar store and pick up one of those. It just gives you a guide to follow.
