  • 50/50 FP/SP mix* with CMC**:

  • 50/50 FP/SP mix:
    • cream - 12 g
    • dark blue - 2 g
    • white - 3 g (amount depends on the depth of the indentation)
  • Flower paste:
    • red purple - 4 g (rose + violet + dark brown)
    • ball grey - 5 mm
    • light blue - 10 mm ball
    • violet - 5 g
    • bright green - 8 mm ball (lemon yellow + a touch of sky blue)
  • Edible glue
* FP = flower paste = gum paste; SP = sugarpaste = fondant; to make the 50/50 mix, mix similar size pieces of both types of paste f.ex. 20 g of FP and 20 g of SP.

**Keep on adding the CMC until the paste gets thick but you can still roll a smooth ball. Add more to the body and head than to the legs or arms.
