Height of the figurine: 8cm

THINGS YOU WILL NEED:
Round cutter, Scalpel, Dresden tool, Ball tool, Brush, Edible glue/water, CMC, wooden skewer and Pink petal dust
​
Fondant or Gum Paste needed:
100 g of blue fondant
6 g of white fondant
1 g (1 cm ball) of brown fondant
1 g (1 cm ball) of red fondant
1 g (1 cm ball) of black fondant
tiny piece of pink fondant (or you can use red instead,it for the mouth)

* To make this figure I used fondant with CMC, but you can use whatever works for you. 

STEP 1: Roll a 30g ball of blue fondant mixed with 5 pinches of CMC, create a teardrop shape as shown in the picture below. Insert a wooden skewer in a rotary motion all the way down.

STEP 2: Roll out a flat round sheet of 3g white fondant. Use a small amount of glue to attach the sheet to the body .  

STEP 3: Add a pinch of CMC into a 3g ball of blue fondant, form a teardrop shape. Repeat this step for the second leg.

STEP 4: Use a small amount of glue to attach the legs to the body 

STEP 5: For the foot, add a pinch of CMC into a 2g ball of blue fondant, form a teardrop shape. Slightly flatten it. 

STEP 6: Use a Dresden tool to make an indentation as shown in the picture to create toes. Repeat the same for the second foot.

STEP 7: Roll two 1 mm balls of white fondant, flatten them and attached on the foot with a little bit of glue. 

STEP 8: Add 5 pinches of CMC to a 45g ball of blue fondant, keep on adding the CMC if needed until the paste gets thicker. It doesn’t need to be as thick as the paste for the body, but you want it to hold the shape. Roll a ball. Use your pinky to mark an indentation on the center of the head.
 

STEP 9: Roll a 8 mm ball of brown fondant, form an egg shape.

STEP 10: Use a small amount of glue to attach the nose to the head .  

STEP 11: Use the smaller side of the Dresden Tool to mark the lines, and slight pull down at the center to create a hole for the mouth. You can use a scalpel tool to deepen the lines.

STEP 12: ​Use a ball tool to make holes for the eyes.

STEP 13: Roll two 2g balls of blue fondant and form teardrop shapes out of them. Flatten them.

STEP 14: Use a Dresden tool to make an indentation as shown in the picture.

STEP 15: Roll a 5mm ball of white fondant, attached it onto the ear. Repeat the same for the second ear.

STEP 16: Trim the ears with a 15mm round cutter.

STEP 17: Attached the ears with some glue.

STEP 18: Roll two 3 mm balls of black fondant and stick them in the eye indentations. Optional: you can roll out two small sausage shape of brown fondant for the eyebrow.
Roll a tiny ball of pink fondant and stick it in the hole of the mouth. Apply some pink dust on the cheek.

STEP 19: Roll a 2 mm ball of blue fondant. Form a tapering down towards one end sausage. Repeat this step for the second hand.

STEP 20: Roll a small ball of red fondant, form a teardrop shape and flatten it. Use a scalpel tool to trim the wider ends as shown in the picture. Repeat the step again.

STEP 21: Roll a small ball of red fondant, form a teardrop shape, slightly flatten it. Repeat the step again.

STEP 22: Attached the two teardrops shape together with some glue.

STEP 23: Roll a tiny ball of red fondant, attached it on the center of the ribbon.

STEP 24: Attached the ribbon, head and hands with some glue as shown in the picture and YOU 'RE DONE.
Oops! don't forget the tail, roll a 8 mm ball of blue fondant and stick it at the back of the body.
