Duck with ears
Today I bring this Duck with ears because, we ALL like to put on a costume from time to time!
I want to share with you this tutorial that I recorded for the academy last year, but that in the end I decided to save it to share it with you in the future. And today that day has come!
So if you want to have a peek inside with your own eyes and know how my Academy works, this is your chance!
Before starting
Here are some tips that you may need:
- Step by step: take the amount of fondant for each piece indicated below, follow the instructions in the video and compare it with the template.
- How to use the templates: Your piece should be very similar to the shape that appears on the template, looking at it from above, but do not obsess it is just a reference. Here you can see how to do it.
- Download the template here and print it.
- Cut out the wing template: Roll out fondant to about 3mm thick. Cut the template of the wings, place it on the fondant and cut the fondant following the outline of the template.
Materials:
- Dresden tool, scalpel and bobbin. Here you can see what tools are
- Wires or toothpicks
