Okay everyone. I finally got up enough nerve to make MMF. I love it. thumbs_up.gif It is so easy and tastes so much better than Wilton's. I just got done doing my animals for my nephew's farm cake and couldn't wait to show them off. I know I need a lot more practice but I was in a hurry after doing the pigs because my four little boys started watching me and telling me the pigs look yummy! They have survived, so far. icon_twisted.gif I have learned so much from everyone here and hopefully someday I can get as good as you guys. Thanks!

Wow, they look perfect. I haven't had the nerve yet to try fondant. I think maybe you just inspired me to do so. They really look great!!!

They are adorable! Did you get the instructions from a book? Which one?
I have been wanting to get some of those books and practice. Never have made fondant, I guess I'll have to get up my nerve and give it a try.
You really did a great job!!!

Thanks everyone. I didn't use a book I just used my boy's Little People. I also looked through the galleries and got some ideas. Everyone is so nice. My husband just looked at them and said that's nice. Men!

They are sooo cute. Great job! I know what you mean by "men". They just don't understand . My husband is wonderful about all my experimenting and the time I put in the cakes but he can't quite understand why when all people do is eat them and then it is gone! Everyone here understands!!!!

You did a fantastic job on them thumbs_up.gif About my work, my DH always says "It looks fine." I hate that! I don't think "fine" is a compliment icon_razz.gif

Your figures are great. They should look really cute on a cake. Be sure to post your finished product. I can't wait to see it.

WOW!! I was looking at your pictures and thinking that they look like Little People Animals. Then I saw that you used them to model after. Fantastic job! I guess I am lucky that my husband understands. Although, he stays clear of me when I am decorating. Then he'll come back and tell me how great it looks! party.gif
