To make Pingu the Penguin you will need....
Red Sugarpaste for his Beak
Orange Sugarpaste for his Feet
White Sugarpaste for his Eyes and Chest
Black Sugarpaste for his Body, Head and Eyes
To make the Body...
Take some black paste and roll it into a fat
sausage.
To make the Head...
Place some black sugarpaste into the middle of
your hands and gently roll into a ball.
Now Wash your hands!
With clean dry hands, tear off a suitable amount
of white paste.
Roll it into a sausage shape then press onto the
penguin's body....
smooth the edge down with your finger....
Stand the body upright and Wet the top of the
body with a little water....
Place Pingu's head on top of his body....
If you have trouble with your penguins heads
falling off then use a piece of spaghetti or
something similar as support.
Don't use cocktail sticks as they may become a
choking hazard for younger children and have
sharp points.
It is possible to make these models without
using the spaghetti.....it just helps keep the head
from falling off.
Once the head and body are dry then there isn't
a problem.....

It's important to keep the work surface clean.
Wipe each time you use a different sugarpaste
colour....
and make sure the surface is completely dry, or
your icing will stick!
With clean dry hands take two very small pieces
of white paste and make them into balls....
....then squash them!
These are his eyes...
Gently place them onto his head to make the
face...
if they don't stick then use a little water and a
small paint brush....
Make a small beak from red paste...
This is done by making a ball then narrowing
one end between the thumb and fore finger....
make the other end flat....
.... place the beak onto the head just below the
eyes....
Make two very tiny balls of black paste....
Place the tiny black balls of paste onto the eyes
to give expression....
make him look up, down, sideways or even
cross eyed :D
Pingu looking nervous....
Penguins have flipper like wings....
To make these roll out a narrow sausage of
black paste..
Chop it in half and......
Now dampen the sides of the body and attach
the wings by pressing into place...
The feet are created the same way but not as
long..
Press these into place, stick at the bottom and
leave the top half unattached..
Say hello Pingu the Penguin!
Leave to dry over night before moving if you
have not used any support for the head.
