Fondant Turkeys

Made these cute little Turkey's sitting on yummy Apple Cinnamon Muffins I saw the turkey's in a Woman's World Magazine
Fondant Turkeys
Start with some brown gumpaste. Shape three pieces into pear shapes. Fondant Turkeys
Then roll out three balls for the heads. Six tear shapes for the wings.  Fondant Turkeys
Next I cut out three triangle shapes with the top rounded. Fondant Turkeys
Next I rolled two legs and smashed down the ends for the feet. Fondant Turkeys
I then made three little toes or claws whatever they are called. :) Fondant Turkeys
Then i took two rolls of red and orange.
With a rolling pin I rolled them flat.
Then I set it on one of the triangles.
Trim the sides.
Next gently make some feathers with a butter knife.
Next you will need to roll out white eyes, and make a little yellow beak. Then a red gobbler. I don't know what the real name is. But anyway make one of those. :)
So there you have all your pieces. Now put him together!
 Here I made the faces. Attached with a very small amount of water.
Here I have put more of the turkey together and am leaving them like this a little while to harden up. Notice I used a paper towel roll to make the wings stand up so they will dry like that. Then add the head and wings!
There you go, fun little Turkey Gobblers!
