Preparation

Step 1

These toppers will last for up to 6 months if kept in a breathable cardboard cake box, which means you can make them well in advance. So when you've got some spare time and fancy getting creative in the kitchen, roll up your sleeves and get making!

Roll sausage shapes in the red and white paste, making the white slightly fatter than the red. Cut sections off diagonally so they fit neatly onto the body. With a brush of water stick the red and the white together. For the hands, roll tiny balls of skin tone paste and then use a pin tool or cocktail stick to add the fingers. Stick them to the end of the white paste.

With a brush of water, stick the arms to the body. If you struggle to keep the arms in place, use a section of dried spaghetti pushed into the body to hold the arms on.

Stick the nose to the center of the face, and then add the eyes pushing them in with a pin tool or cocktail stick. Add the beard with a brush of water and the mouth onto the beard. Stick the back of the hat on and then add the triangle to the front bending the top over to add the bobble.

Add cheeks using the soft brush and the petal dust.

Pop on top of any cupcake or bake to make them extra special!
