* Alternatively you can use modelling paste or sugarpaste (fondant) with CMC. If you decide to use sugarpaste (fondant) with CMC keep on adding the CMC gradually until the paste gets thick (you need to use much more pressure to knead it). Both the body and the head need to be firm before attaching the head or else they will lose their shape (sink). The body and the head need to be much firmer than the other parts. For thinly rolled out parts I suggest using flower paste (gum paste).
