I got a little old book to make figures out of fimo.
And I thought it was perfect to try the little deer on a cupcake.
You can use white fondant (sugar paste/gum paster I guess?) and colour it yourself, or buy pre-cloured stuff.
As you're making the deer, but the fondant doesnt stick to each other you can wet it with a bit of water to make it stick better.
PS: sorry for the crappy illustrations, Paint isn't my best friend and I forgot to take pics.

You Will Need (2 things)
- Cupcake(s)
- Food Pencil
Steps (11 steps, 60 minutes)
-
1
For this project you need several colours fondant.
-Red/brown (for the body so quite a lot).
-Caramel (for the head and inside of the ears).
-White (for the dots, nose, inside of the ears).
-Black (for the nose).
-Soft pink (for the inside of the ears).
-Green (for the ground). -
2
Take the red/brown fondant and roll it till it's egg-shaped.
Then press it onto the plate so it's flat on one side. -
3
Now take a small piece of the red/brown fondant and roll it into a little ball.
Then put a bit more pressure on one side so it looks as in the picture.
It will become the thigh and the leg of the deer. -
4
Pull up the thigh and press it a bit forward onto the legg.
-
5
Press the leg against the body.
And put white dots on the top of the body. -
6
Now take the caramel fondant and roll a ball again.
But this time your shape it the seat of a bike. -
7
Now roll out a piece of red brown fondant till it's flat.
Cut out the shape of the seat of a bike and lay it over the head.
Cover the back of the head aswell. -
8
Put two little balls of the caramel fondant onto the head.
Cut out a small stripe in both of them and trace that line with black food colour (on a toothpick) or use the food pencil.
Now you've created the sleeping eyes.For the nose you add a small dot of white and a small dot of black at the end of the nose.

9
To make the ear you cut out 2 oval shapes of the red-brown/pink and white fondant.
Each shape a bit smaller then the one before. (From red brown to pink to white).
Then squeeze both ends of the oval between your fingers to create the deer-ear shape and put them onto the head of the dear. -
10
Cut out a tiny red brown triangle and a bigger white triangle.
Put the onto each other, this is the tail, so press it onto the body. -
11
Then you can roll out the green fondant to cut out a circle for the grass.
Place it onto the cupcake and put Bambi onto it aswell.
Tàdáá!
