* I used a mix of sugarpaste and flower paste (1:1) with CMC to make the head, body, wings and ears. Keep on adding the CMC powder until you feel that the paste gets quite thick, but you can still roll a smooth ball. Add the CMC shortly before forming the parts. For all other parts I used flower paste.
