Hi Michelle,

Love this teddy bear video; how did you color your bear blue?

[InspiredByMichelle]

@11beverlyanne I just used blue food paste colour and kneaded it into the fondant first.

Hello! Love your tutorial! I will be trying to make this bear on Saturday for my friend's baby twins Baptism.. I was just wondering (as I am a newbie) what's the difference between cornflour and powdered sugar for dusting? Thanks so much!

You can use either but I prefer cornflour as it does not lump nor is it sticky I use it for all my fondant work - it is just a personal preference. Have fun decorating your Baptism cake!!

Bye for now, Michelle

Whenever you say 'cut the fondant,' do you mean the actual fondant or just seperate pieces of it?

Hi If it is when I'm talking about the arms and legs either will do as long as you end up with pieces that are the same size it does not matter. If it is when you are making the bears fur then you are actually cutting / snipping into the fondant so that you get lots of V shapes which when random will give you the fur texture.

I hope that makes sense.

Thanks for watching, Michelle

But I still love it :]

Nice I suggest putting on the Teddy bear a bow :]

I suggest you mix blue colour paste to the fondant before making the model. Alternatively, you may use air brush technique but it would a little challenging since the bear is shaggy.

Hi michelle, Love your work.. you are brilliant !!! Ok so i have a question i'm hoping you can answer :) Ive tried making the shaggy bear.. It has came out really cute but i used gumtex with my fondant instead of tylose and it seemed as the fondant was still too soft... Everytime i would roll the fondant into a ball after a few mins i would lose the nice ball shape :( Is there a difference bet gumtex and tylose?Also do you think i can make this bear with gumpaste instead ?
