I had so much fun making this little fellow! I hope you'll enjoy this tutorial. You can use it either to make a cake topper or a small cake. The photos show how to make a topper, but the step descriptions include information on how to make a cake. OK, let's start!

If you want the figure to be food safe you have to isolate the styrofoam from the cake. You can do that with sugar paste. Wet your hands and spread a small amount of water all over the dummy. You don't want to leave any dry gaps cause the sugar paste won't stick to the styrofoam. Try not to wet the dummy too much though, otherwise the paste will slide around and won't stick properly. Alternatively you can use glue or piping gel.
Roll out about 80 g of yellow sugar paste to about 4 mm thick and place the dummy on it.
If you are making a cake, skip this and the next step.
