I love these cute little figures- I started them a few days in advance so they would have plenty of time to dry. I used a pan the same size as the cake to set them on so I wouldn’t make them too big or too small. Marshmallow Fondant was perfect for these and I had fun with the bright colors! I formed the bodies around popsical sticks, gently pulling them out before they dried- I wanted to be able to put my popsicle sticks with the heads attached through the bodies and into the cake. I hope you have a fabulous 40 year old to make these for!
