Bird Body
Take a ball of sugarpaste (fondant) any colour make it Size D* and make into a flat cone shape.
Wings and Tail
WINGS: Roll out sugarpaste (2-3mm) thick. Cut a large heart (35mm) across, cut it in half and mark lines, then cut off the tips.
TAIL: cut a smaller heart (20mm) across, mark lines with knife blade then cut off the tip
Attach Wings
Use the two halves of the large heart as wings. Stick them onto the body ball. Make sure they are on top so the head will cover the join.
Add Tail
Use the small heart as the tail and stick to the body at the back.
Head and Beak
Push a piece of raw spaghetti into the body, ready to attach the head. Make head with ball Size E* and place firmly on the spaghetti.Make a big hole.
Shape a small beak with a point and both ends.
Beak and Eyes
Push the pointed cone beak into the hole until secure. Mark eyes (not dots) using black past colour and a cocktail stick.
Create A Cupcake
Place the bird on any cupcake or cake. Perfect for Easter if children make chocolate krispie cake nests.
