I have so many other things that I want to show at the moment, sorry. It can be really helpful to look at a shark toy. Often I use one of my kids toys when I want to make it in gumpaste.

You should always store your creations at a dry/dark place. NOT in the refrigerator. When you use Tylo is holds better when it’s humid.

Thanks Louise for your quick respond i couldnt wait till i buy tylo powder to do my own teddy bear, so i started right away to mimic your model on play dough… ha..and i was extremely happy with the results & my children where surprised by their mother’s new hobby of playing with play dough, coz i started making bumble bee, winnie the pooh & roses. Hahaha…thanks to you you are a great help…mwahhhh its great to have you around for advise <3
Ahh, by the way, what about making my own fondant with marshmallow, i have seen few videos on youtube and i think i will try it, maybe it will solve my problem :S i will tell you the results next time. And when i make roses or any model should i leave them out to dry at room temp in hot & humid weather or is it better to put them uncovered in the fridge? Thanks Louise Mwahhhh <3

Hi Louise, what about using marzipan instead of fondant. they are less stick y for me. Should i also add to it tylo powder to hold its shape coz it melts down too, but not as much as the fondant that i have here! i searched on several on line sites for tylo powder but i dont find it! From which site do you order it? Thanks a lot Louise, you are always there for us

One thing important when making figurines is that you always start out with a smooth ball. The only time I have problems is if the fondant is too dry.

Fantastic tutorial Louise, you make it look oh so easy. My daughter has a birthday coming up in June and she’d love this on her cake. The great thing about this is you can scale and make matching cupcake teddies too.

Thanks for sharing.

Fabulous! I really like how you make it all look so pretty! When I try, there are edges and folds… I guess practice is the solution. But until then, thank you for your tutorials!

You could try and see if you can find Gum tragacanth. Adding more confectionery sugar will not harden the fondant.

When will you be posting part 2 of this cute bear tutorial?

Hi Louise, i love this teddy bear and i will definitely try it on my next cake. I daily visit your tutorial site to learn from it! You are the greatest! But I have one problem, I think we do not have tylo powder (does it have another name?) & the fondant sold out here where i live is a bit soft and sticky, it does not keep its shape and melts down, should i add more confectionery sugar instead of tylo powder when i knead the fondant?
