My Fondant Figurines: Too Cruel To Eat?

OK, these weren't moulded like today or yesterday...they were my then-new-craze when I was carrying my 20+over week pregnant bump and having all the time in the world (where did those days go??) to make cupcakes for my baby shower to celebrate the coming of Baby B. But looking at my old stash of photos I couldn't resist sharing them with you. How did I get started? Oh, no, I didn't pay for a fondant making course...You Tube's a god-send, you know? And when there's a will, there're books you can grab hold of that show you how. The internet is great too, with talented fondant crafters only too eager to share and tell.  This year I managed to sculpt Cookie Monster, Big Bird and Elmo for Baby B's 1st birthday cake...and was crazy enough to carry the little darlings in a cold pack for 7 hours on board Singapore Airlines...they survived long enough to make it to the party..all till Elmo's red butt started to sweat and melt before they finished singing Happy Birthday.
