2011 - Zhu Zhu pet figure

A girl at work was talking about her daughters birthday cake and how she loves her Zhu Zhu pet so I offered to make a figure of her particular one - Peachy - to go on top of a cake.

I had to do some research to find out what a zhu zhu pet was and in particular what Peachy looked like.

I again made the fondant into gumpaste using CMC powder and then tinted it to an orange/peach colour. I used white fondant to add the legs and snout area and added a small nose which can be oiled up prior to serving to make it look like plastic.

I stuck the ears onto some wire so they inserted into the figure and cut out the peach shape to go on the animal's back.
