Thank you, Gail.  That is very sweet of you.  I would just love to see the chocolate heads!  How big were they?  Do you have pics?

The only things I have ever sculpted are the sugar figures shown on this site.  I have always been a painter.

I did so 2 &1/2 3 lb heads in chocolate , love hand molding , I have done some clay, and wood , but since we moved cant find that stuff yet it may still be in the stables or barns ? pkd , realistic is a little harder , we try to hard when we make that !and it comes out not looking to much like we wanted !

I don't know if I didn't make the chocolate clay correctly or if my hands are too hot?  I just seemed to keep squishing it and his nose looked like a blob.  The chocolate tends to get really slick very quickly, too.  I have had great luck using it for the body of the dragon and birds, then trimming with gum paste, but I have a long way to go before I can feel comfortable with it.  I would love to be able to make realistic people with it.  I thought about trying it with gum paste or a gum paste/fondant mix, but it might dry too quickly.

It's piping gel tinted blue.  Really should have left it clear because I had already made a dark marbled fondant pool liner.  No, I do not believe he does.  He would just laugh.  

The cake was delicious, but the piping gel not so much.  It's OK but, like fondant, I can do without it.

Thanks, Gail.  I really don't like to do this kind of cake.  I like to make things pretty.  Perhaps if I ever learn to sculpt better with modeling chocolate or gum paste, I will like it better.
