I was just practicing with fondant, and got some ideas off here with the human figures. So, I tried my hand at a Fondant Boy, first time (pictured below) but while i was working with him, his head got a little flat in the back Any one have any tips for me??? Any help would be appreciated, thanks so much!!!!

Sorry here is the pic

hee hee hee!! No help here - I just wanted to say that he's CUTE!!

My tip is to put his head on a toothpick or skewer once you get the shape you want. Just handle it then by the toothpick/skewer and you'll have no misshapen heads!

It's also a great tip for drying b/c then you can just stick the toothpick in styrofoam or the like!

Great job for your first time!

The styrofoam flower formers work great too! http://www.countrykitchensa.com/catalog/product.aspx?T=1&productId=2264

don't be so hard on your self i think his face is cute. the first time is always the hardest.

I think Aine2 suggests using a cel former., once head is shaped, you need to handle as little as possible. I tried using a mound of cornstarch or pwd. sugar and it still got a little flat.
