ok...this customer provided me with this picture to replicate...I apologize if this is belongs to anyone on here, she just said that she pulled it off a website....my question is....how would you go about making the antennae and the head?!

Im guessing the head is made out of fondant...at least thats what it looks like...but I cant tell if its one big chunk of fondant or cake covered in fondant or what?! and I cant tell what the antennae are made of...

Its not due until October...so I have time...I was just wondering...

thanks for all your help icon_smile.gif

I think the head could be a cookie covered in black fondant (something like a large sugar cookie). For the Antenna - Look for black CHENILLE stems, they are really thick and available at craft stores.

Ok when I googled it , It said the antenna was licorice and it tells you how to make it. I did one in my photos but it was done differently. HTH

This ladybug is from Wilton's Celebrate with Fondant book page 14 and 15. It has a ladybug and bee. I used this book and came up with my luv bug
