I made mine of fondant pushed through a clay gun or extruder with no disc, then cut to the height I needed for the cake. I made the section marks while the fondant was still soft by pinching with a pair of angled tweezers I use only for cake work. I added a few leaves in fondant and dusted with a bit of cocoa brown dusting powder.

I don't do 3D or carved cakes very well. I have one example, the luau pig in my photo gallery. He is the only one I have done, they intimidate me to no end.

Thanks ladies. I want to be Alan Dunn in my next life, his gumpaste flowers are the most beautiful of any sugar artist I know.
