Pigs For pigs with creme eggs and marshmallows check out Harvington Guides' site. Snowmen Ball of white fondant for the body, slighly smaller ball of white fondant for the head. Make a scarf from a strip of red or green fondant, and use black fondant to make a hat and eyes, mouth, buttons etc. Alternatively buy sweets for this bit - liquorice allsorts make great hats and you could use fizzy lances for a scarf. Penguins Penguins are made from a pear shaped piece of white fondant for the body. Shape some black fondant into a triangle, slightly taller than the body, which wraps around the body so that the point goes over the top and onto the "forehead" while the bottom edge comes down to the bottom of the body. Make the eyes from 2 tiny pieces of black fondant and the beak from a piece of yellow fondant. (thanks to Sarah Goddard for submitting these 2 to Guiding UK) Dougal Cakes Take a mini chocolate roll, cover with chocolate butter icing with fork marks for hair. Stick a circle of fondant icing on one end and use silver balls for eyes & smarties for nose. Sugar Mice Ready made sugar paste or 1 Egg White and 450g (1lb) Icing Sugar Food Colouring Silver sugar balls string or Sweet Laces Beat the egg white until frothy but not stiff. Sieve the icing, adding enough to produce a fairly stiff mixture. Add a few drops of the food colouring (flavourings can also be added at this stage if required). Knead the mixture in to a firm paste and divide into 12 - 16 pieces. Roll into oval shapes with making one end pointed to form a nose, pinch up two small pieces to produce ears. Eyes can be formed using silver balls or currants, the tail can be made from string. Place the mice onto parchment or silicon paper, place in a warm place to dry for 24 hours. Store in an airtight container. |
