to making mmf figures!!!! i have been dying to try a few different figures but i have been to nervous...so i bought a book about how to go about it and i made my first one today...i have a customer who wants a golf cake and so i made a gal sitting and she is leaning up against her golf bag.....i am sooooo proud of myself...i just want to make a whole bunch of different people!!! it was so much easier than i thought!!!! the cake does not have to be done till next week, so i'll post a picture when it is done....
Wonderful!! And when can we expect the tutorial?? 
I've been too nervous to try them also, but am dying to. I'd love the name of the book you used also.
I'm taking a class on Monday from a fellow CCer on making critters -- I think we're doing a big fat frog, a penguin, a teddy bear and I forget what the other thing is. I can't wait! 
the name of the book is called " two-hour party cakes" ( let me just say...ya right!!!!!!lol!!!! it's by Carol Deacon. i picked it up at chapters for 19.95$ ( can). it's awesome cause it gives you step by step instructions and the amounts of mmf you need. that was my problem, i tryed to make a fondant figure awhile back but the head was to big..arm to short..etc. in this book it tells you the amounts you need for all the body parts...i love it!!! gonna go back next week and see if they have any other books!!
bobwonderbuns you aren't going to Sarah's are you? I was going to take their class but a work thing came up that night
As a matter of fact I am! With my good buddy Carol who is teaching!
My Wilton instructor told me to get a clay figurine book from Michael's she said you would be amazed at all the things one of those books can show you how to do and I don't think they are very expensive. Not to mention Michael's has a 40% off coupon almost every week 
I have that book its great. I also like Debbie Browns books. To see them go to www.debbiebrownscakes.co.uk/ if you click on the books you can see all of the cakes in that book
vrmcc1,
Just wanted to say thanks for mentioning that Debbie Brown site. I was familiar with one of her books but had no idea how MANY she had done.
I spent half an hour looking at all her cakes and was blown away!!!
It would be so cool to plan a trip to the UK for one of her many classes. ( check out the one she teaches on May 30th-31st. The cake is incredible.)
Anyone interested???!!!
I've never made figures..but I'm dying to try!
