Fondant Lady Bug Tutorial

 This ladybug is so cute and very simple to make. I made this for my Basket weave cake.

Required tools:

Take the red fondant and make an oval and flatten a bit on one side.
Then take the black fondant for head and make a ball and flatten it on one side to make a semi circle.
Now attach both the head and body facing the flatten sides using the edible glue .

Now take a toothpick and draw a line in the center of the body.

Take two small white balls and two even smaller black balls for eyes. First put the white ball and flatten it and then put the black on top and flatten to make an eye.


Take 6 tiny black balls and attach to the body randomly to make the dots for ladybug. And there you go our cute ladybug is done.
                       

Fondant Bird tutorial

This is a basic bird tutorial which I used for my Basket Weave cake. This is a edible bird made with fondant. This is very easy to make and anyone can do it.

Required tools:

Take the Body, roll it into a tear drop shape. Bend top edge of the tear drop upward and flatten it to form a tail.

Make some impressions with the toothpick or any pointy tool on the tail. And also put a support for the tail until it holds its shape or till its dry.

Make a round ball for the head. Apply some edible glue (check my tutorials page for how to make edible glue) with a brush and put the head in place.

Take the ball tool and make impressions for eyes and nose. Place the eyes using edible glue, first white and then black. For nose make a teardrop with yellow fondant and flatten it a bit to look like a beak. Put the beak in place and poke a small hole on both sides with the toothpick.

Roll the fondant and cut two teardrop shapes for the wings. Bend the point end of the teardrop shape upwards to make it look like a wing. Attach the wings with edible glue on each side. Take the toothpick and make some line marks.

Now the bird is finished. Lastly, I also added some funky hair and a white fur on front of the body. Let the bird dry for 3 to 4 days. And your edible bird is ready to impress ur family and friends especially kids.
