I love this class! I am learning so many things about making gumpaste figures. I was hesistant to take this class at first since I have no experience at all in making cake toppers... but I'm glad I did. Ann explains things very clearly. Great class!!

I have done some figure modeling in the past, having researched how with different sources online. After watching this class, I was pleased to pick up new techniques, especially when it came to clothing the figures. Very well taught. Would like to see another class offered by Anne!

Henry - the pea-in-the-pod baby!

JJ - a sitting boy figure!
In this lesson I show you how to create a sitting boy figure modeled after my own son JJ! I show you the differences between modeling sitting girl figures vs boy figures. Then I review how to construct the torso, legs and face. Finally I take you through all the intricate details of creating his ears, shirt, arm, hair and more!
