Tigger Cake

A Tigger Cake for my grandson's 1st Birthday!

 You can see on his face he was in deep thought while eating this cake.

Gorgeous little Birthday Boy!

I started with orange gumpaste. I formed a head, ears, legs, body, arms and a tail. I took a wood skewer and inserted into the body so that I could attached the head.

Next I took the head and cut an opening for the mouth.

Fondant Turkeys

Made these cute little Turkey's sitting on yummy Apple Cinnamon Muffins

I saw the turkey's in a Woman's World Magazine

Start with some brown gumpaste. Shape three pieces into pear shapes.

Then roll out three balls for the heads.

Six tear shapes for the wings. 

Next I cut out three triangle shapes with the top rounded.

Next I rolled two legs and smashed down the ends for the feet.

I then made three little toes or claws whatever they are called. :)

Then i took two rolls of red and orange.

With a rolling pin I rolled them flat.

Then I set it on one of the triangles.

Trim the sides.

Next gently make some feathers with a butter knife.

Next you will need to roll out white eyes, and make a little yellow beak. Then a red gobbler. I don't know what the real name is. But anyway make one of those. :)

So there you have all your pieces. Now put him together!

 Here I made the faces. Attached with a very small amount of water.

Here I have put more of the turkey together and am leaving them like this a little while to harden up. Notice I used a paper towel roll to make the wings stand up so they will dry like that. Then add the head and wings!

There you go, fun little Turkey Gobblers!
