Amazing that you spent so much time to share this with us. Thank you so much! It looks like you've done most of the hard work already, you must write a book! Can we have autographed copies?
you must write a book! Can we have autographed copies?
ha ha ha ha! If I ever get so famous, I shall put it down to the wonderful CC followers entirely! Never say never....you'll be the first to know if I EVER contemplate a book!
well there are two threads to this but I want to make sure you got my message! WOW! And THANK YOU! You are too awesome! I agree - have you ever heard of Debbie Brown or met her? You two could be dangerous together In a good way And yeah - definitely start writing that book! Maybe Debbie would share her book writing secrets - she's got quite a few..... you are truly talented and I LOVE step by step instructions. Even if the book came out in black & white - the more detailed the steps are, the better for me! I hate tutorials where you look at picture 1 and then all of a sudden 3 things have happened before you see picture 2 and you have no clue how the person accomplished that...... you are a wonderful teacher too! Thank you again and we'll all be waiting eagerly for that book! (notice I didn't say patiently waiting..... LOL)
thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
wow, i'm ready to go play with some fondant right now!!!
one question though,where do i find the little mold for the head, so it doesnt get flat?
i agree, this needs to be in the cc tutorials, so we can have it as a refrence always!!!!
thank you agian for your amazing slide show!

You know, I got the little polystyrene molds by accident. I sent away for a former, which is not unlike the inside of a kitchen roll holder and is used for drying paste in a bendy shape, but these little formers came instead! I put them away out of sight and almost threw them out until I decided that the little one would be good for placing anything round into to work on to keep it's shape. So where did I get them.....I can't remember! I'm not even sure what they are originally used for but I'd guess it's flowers. I don't do flowers but they've come in handy just the same! Ask at a craft shop. They are just called "formers" as far as I know....but don't quote me!
Great tutorial. Thank you for sharing it with everyone.
that was incredible.... I think it's time to think about writing a book! That was so much clearer and easier to understand than any sugarpaste, etc.. book that I have read.. thanks for sharing
The verdict is in ! 
I'm sooooo sorry that this took so long to put together. I now have a link that will give you an insight to my work. I sincerely hope it was worth the wait and does not disappoint! A huge thankyou to everyone who has shown interest in my characters and to all of the mail sent to me. My apologies if I haven't been able to reply to everyone individually. I really appreciate your kind words.

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this tutorial, I so appreciate it, Hugs and Blessings,Mary
That was an absolutly fantastic demo. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us all. I really doubt I would be able to duplicate, but I sure will try. Your figures are beautiful and you should really write a book on this subject. Your cakes look so professional!
I was wondering where you get edible glue and can you make it?
You can buy edible glue from Squires Kitchen online but it is easy to make your own. Personally I use CMC powder and water. Use 1 quarter teaspoon of powder to 2 tablespoons (approx) of cooled boiled water. It will look lumpy and gloopy but if you give it a shake and leave it in the fridge overnight, in the morning it will be perfectly clear and ready to use.
You can also soften fondant with a little water to make a glue paste. I don't know how effective it is doing it this way so I can't recommend it.
I make my glue up in a little clear jar with a good lid on it and I change the glue weekly, keeping it in the fridge when I'm not using it.
CMC is Carboxy Methyl Cellulose and it is a gum powder used to strengthen paste. I use it all the time.
You are incredibly talented, and so generous to share your technique!! Thank you!!
Thank you so much Lorraine! It's a wonderful tutorial and your figurines are amazing! Really appreciate the time and effort taken to do this tutorial and for being so kind to share it with us!
