Step 1
Shape body into cone shape, Form 2 round balls for the feet and push them firmly onto the base of the body
Step 2
Form a teardrop shaped arm and stick it the body with the pointed end at the neck. Use a little sugar glue to secure if necessary. Repeat for the other arm. Push a short piece of spaghetti down into the body
Step 3
Form the head in a smooth round ball and push firmly onto the spaghetti; add the little round nose very low down at the front of the bear’s face.
Step 4
To make the ears, form the ball shape, squash it flat and pinch one side into a point. Make 2 large holes on the top of the head with the point of the PME No.9 tool.
Step 5
Push the ears into the holes created. If they don’t fit easily make the hole larger. Push the tool into the centre of each ear to secure. Make an extra hole at the top of the nose; insert a teardrop shape of chocolate brown sugarpaste for the nose tip.
Step 6
Use a cocktail stick to mark the eyes. Dip the tip into Liquorice Black paste colour and mark 2 long ‘friendly’ eyes low on the face just above the nose.
Step 7
Use the tip of another clean cocktail stick to make tiny little scratches all over the surface of the teddy bear to make him look a little fluffy.
Step 8
Finally, add a little smile to the bear by pushing the end of a drinking straw into the face at an angle.
Step 9
Make small and large bears to create a family for your Teddy Bear's picnic cake or cupcakes
