* SP = sugar paste = fondant; FP = flower paste = gum paste. To make the mix, knead same amounts of the SP and FP together. You don’t need to weigh the paste. Just mix similar size pieces. If you mix two types of pastes together you get properties somewhere in between those two.

This little llama topper is a sweet, simple project — with a clean shape, a cute expression, and a soft flower crown to finish it off.
