* 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.
** You'll find the amounts in the 'AMOUNTS' tab.

The body needs to be firm so if you are using CMC, make sure you add quite a lot of it. If you don’t add enough CMC the body will sink under the heavy head. Keep on adding the CMC powder until you feel that the paste gets thick, but you can still roll a smooth ball.
Roll a 15 g ball of lilac paste. Form a teardrop shaped body. Use a dry, wooden skewer to make a tunnel in the body (rotary motion).
