Have you ever made any fondant sculptures? 
Was it easy to learn? I have a few days to practice...

I wish! I am awful at decorating!!

I made one fondant cake which was fun...but I like the taste of the cakes from my go-to baker way more.
-
I made a fondant dinosaur. To practice, I bought a cheap thing of modeling clay and practiced with that. For the actual dino, I bought a small tub of fondant at Walmart and heated it up just a little, to make it pliable, before having my fun with it. Good luck!
-
@MaisyMay: That's a great idea!
-
@Espion: Modeling clay is super cheap and I figured that if I could craft a dino out of modeling clay, then fondant would be fine.
-
@MaisyMay: Oooh, maybe I will practice on play-doh?
-
@autumnlove: Play-doh might work. I picked up some harder clay from Jo-Ann's for about $1.50. The fondant that I bought was a lot stiffer than play-doh.
-
The most I have done is roll balls and cut shapes out of my fondant, but I found it fairly easy to work with (store bought fondant)! Good luck! What are you going to sculpt?

@T-Mom: Pete the Cat! I think I'm losing motivation and I might just order a cake!
-
@autumnlove: oh that would be so cute! I bet it wouldn't be that hard.. I thought this one looked very doable, and even though it's not perfect it is very obviously Pete? http://www.oneluckypickle.com/2012/06/party-chronicles-episode-3-pete-cat.html
I understand losing motivation and ordering a cake, though. That's what happened with me and my DS this year after I spent a lot of time on my DD's cake!

@autumnlove: Rice Krispie treats covered in fondant. The Rice Krispie keeps the shape pretty well.
-
@T-Mom: Or maybe I can just make cupcakes??? Lol, I'm trying to keep the costs down.
-
I am more into cake eating
-
@autumnlove: Cupcakes would be great.. you could even just make Pete cupcake toppers out of paper and use a toothpick and not even mess with fondant...
