Birthday Bear
This kind of teddy bear is pretty popular and I get asked to make him quite a lot. The little roses are made from sugarpaste (fondant) and food safe glitter sparkles them a little for effect. This should be brushed off before the cake is eaten though. The roses are as far as my flower making skills go!
how did you make the teddy and the mini roses?
They are made by hand. I have a lot of these little teddy bears at home and I sat one in front of me for guidance on how it should look. The roses were my idea. They are made from a very small sausage of sugarpaste (fondant) rolled thinly then gently rolled up using your finger. The "petals" have to be teased out gently just using your finger again. Leave them to dry before sticking in place. I used the smallest of teardrop shape cutters for the leaves and softened the edges to give them some mov...
I textured the fur by using the pointed end of a flower/leaf shaper tool made by PME. I use this tool a lot for this kind of thing and also for creating different mouth expressions on my characters.
Thanks aine2!
