Valentine Themed Cupcakes

Firstly, I formed 30g of black modelling paste into a cone shape. Then I lightly flattened the top with my fingers. This made the penguin’s body.

Next, I cut out a small circle of white modelling paste.

I stuck the white circle on the penguin’s body and moulded it into a square shape with rounded corners. I used my blade tool to do this.

Next, I used the small end of a bone modelling tool to make sockets for the eyes.

Using a tiny amount of vodka, I placed a small ball of white modelling paste in each eye socket and flattened them slightly with the bone modelling tool.

I then repeated this process with two smaller balls of black modelling paste.

Lastly, I repeated it once more with two tiny balls of white modelling paste, as can be seen above.

I cut out a heart from red modelling paste and then stuck it on the middle of the penguin’s body

To make the wings, I firstly rolled two pieces of black modelling paste into balls. I made sure they were the same size. Next, I rolled each ball into a tube, making it smaller at one end. Lastly, I flattened each tube to form the wing shape as can be seen above.

I then stuck the wings on either side of the body with a little vodka. The narrow end of the wings reach forward towards the heart.

I shaped a small piece of orange modelling paste into a triangle shape and placed it on the face as can be seen above.

To make the feet, I took two pieces of orange modelling paste and rolled them into balls, making sure they were the same size.

Next, I formed the balls into flat triangles. I stuck them under the penguin’s body as can be seen in the image below.

Using my heart cutter, I cut out a small piece from two of my heart shapes.

You can see in the image above one of the hearts with a piece cut out.

I then arranged the two hearts as can be seen above and then stuck them on one of the white circles I had made the day earlier.
