Pink Teddy Bear: Step-by-Step Instructions – !!

I enjoyed making this pink fondant teddy bear.  It was fun and very easy. The step-by-step instructions below may seem too long, but it just me posting so many pictures… so don’t be discouraged.  Before I begin, I would like to first say: don’t worry how your teddy bear is looking like as you make it, it all comes together at the end.

You will need:

1. Pink fondant for the teddy bear

2. A small amount of dark fondant for the scarf

3. A small amount of additional colored fondant for the silk rose (in this case orange) 

4. Black gel food color for eyes and nose

5. Any icing tip for mouth markings

6. A fondant baller

7. Piping gel (or food flavoring or vodka) to ‘glue’ fondant pieces

8. Decorating brush / Pearl dust brush (optional)

9. Wilton cutter / embosser

10. Like always, toothpicks (esential tools for cake decorating)

11. Read, “Working with Fondant” that I have previously posted.

Royal Icing: Pansy

Pansies are one of my favorite royal icing flowers becuase they look so complicated, but they are not. If you have tried the other flower tutorials I have previously posted, then trying this flower out should not be difficult. Pansies are found in nature in different colors, including all yellow or all dark blue. Add color by painting over them when dry or using color striped bag. Refer to the Flower Index for more flower instructions.
