How to make cute safari animals out of clay / play dough / fondant ?
Hi,
I want to improve my sculpting skills (I am an avid cake decorator / baker) and I am going to practice sculpting with play dough (it has a similar consistency to fondant). I want some links to make CUTE safari animals (alligator, lion, elephant, monkey) plus how to make some other things like dolphins and fish. Any links or suggestions
10 points for BA
thanks guys!
I love this safari cake…and I think the animals are adorable.
