I'm making a farm cake for this weekend for a coorporate party, and they want a farm/barn themes cake. I've made ducks, pigs and piglets, chickens and chicks, ans sheep, but cannot for the life of me figure out a cow! I wouldn't even bother with the cows, except the party is being held at a very popular dairy in the area icon_cry.gif They make their own ice cream there, and you can go thru the barn, play putt putt, etc. I have to have cows for a party at a dair farm right? icon_cry.gif Does anyone have a sculpey book that shows how to sculpt a cow that they could scan in for me? I don't want to buy a book just to make a cow, and our library doesn't have any icon_cry.gif Or if anyone has any pictures they can share with me?

As a matter of fact, I do have a book. I will PM you the scanned photos...will get it to you within the hour (if that isn't waiting too long!). I have another project going right now that I must complete before I can scan the photos. They are cute too! Let me know if this will work for you!

fondant can be use instead.

either add gum-tex to the fondant...

or make a batch like I did the other day, leaving out the crisco and extra liquid. just MM, powdered sugar and flavoring

can also use gumpaste.

the techniques are the same as if doing in polymer clay (but more tasty our way!)

Thanks everyone! I wouldn't worry about the stupid cows if it weren't at a dairy farm! I'm new to modelling things, I've only done it once before, so I'm learning as I go (on paid cakes!!!)
