  • Small Sieve

Steps (9 steps, 40 minutes)

  1. 1

    Cut a small pea-sized piece of ?dark chocolate modelling paste into ?four to make legs. Roll each to form ?0.5cm (¼in) oval shapes.

  2. 2

    Use the non-stick rolling pin to roll out ?the white chocolate modelling paste ?thinly. Cut out the heart shape. Cut ?into three sections as shown.

  3. 3

    Shape the rest of the dark ?chocolate modelling paste to ?a pointed oval. Pinch to form a small ?tail at the rounded end. Stroke and ?smooth the sides and top of the head ?end to square off the shape.

  4. 4

    Press the sections of white on to form the characteristic ?stripes on the head. Mark eye sockets using a Dresden tool. ?Insert the black eyes.

  5. 5

    Make two very small balls of white chocolate modelling paste for the ears. Lay them in position and push them in with the small end of the dogbone/ball tool, supporting the back of the ear with your finger to help to cup it.

  6. 6

    Shape a tiny piece of pale chocolate modelling paste into a triangle. Attach to form the nose. Mark nostrils with the Dresden tool.

  7. 7

    Attach the legs under the body.

  8. 8

    Squeeze a little piping gel into the eyes to make them look rounded ?and shiny.

  9. 9

    Use a small sieve to lightly sprinkle icing sugar over the back, making sure you do not get any on the head by protecting it with your hand.
