Once you get the hang of it you will wonder why you never did it sooner!  I love working with the medium and it also gives a bit of flexibility when it comes to designing stuff that normal cake wont really hold up to.  You might find in your part of the world you need a bit more or less of the rice crispies - oh yes, really compress your creation well and if necessary, reinforce with internal dowel stick/s - I made a rapunzel castle and the jolly thing kept toppling of the "storybook" cake - eish, such a disappointment for me :-(

3 T butter or marg

286g regular marshmallows

6 cups rice crispies

 

melt butter in micro, add marshmallows, cook on 100 % power till melted (about 2.5 minutes) then stir till marshmallows are all a soft gooey mess and then stir in the rice crispies.  In summer I omit the butter because of our high humidity - then I leave it in a covered bowl till it cools somewhat and with holsum covered hands I remove from bowl and start to shape it - quite sticky to start with but you will soon tame the tiger!!!!  Good luck :-)

Not at all - I only used a beerbox cake and then cereal treats for the feet and head, and with the cut out bits I made cake ball mix and used that as my "building material" to add all the built up accents etc.  - another fun project and one I hope to re-visit again :-)

Great job Mandy. My grandson would love it. Was it very difficult?.
