Step 1

Roll 120g of orange paste into a ball. You are forming the carrot carriage.

Step 2

Use the palm of your hand to gently flatten the ball.

Step 3

Gently smooth and round off the edges with your fingertips.

Step 4

Gently push the end of a small rolling pin into the top of the carrot. Make small circular motions with the rolling pin to open the top of the carrot up.

Step 5

Use the veining end of the Dresden tool to score grooves around the carrot top. Alternate the sizes and follow the curve of the paste.

Step 6

Roll 10g of orange paste into a small ball and flatten with your fingertip to form a disc of paste. Apply a small amount of water to the top of the disc. Sit the carrot on top of the disc to lift it slightly from the worksurface.

Step 7

Repeat the steps to make two more carrots. For the medium carrot use 50g of orange paste for the top and 5g for the disc. For the small carrot, use 20g Orange paste for the top and 2g for the disc.

Step 8

Place the carrots on a sheet of greaseproof paper. Using a soft bristled paintbrush apply a small quantity of yellow and orange dust to the carrots.  Add a small amount of red and brown dust to the orange dust to create a darker colour and again apply to each carrot.

Step 9

For the large carrot wheels – Take 12g of black paste, knead and soften to warm up and divide equally into two pieces. Roll each piece into a ball. Flatten the ball with your fingertip. Use the large end of the balling tool to indent the middle of the paste. Use the small end of the balling tool to indent the centre further. Use the large end of a piping tip to mark a circle around the indents as shown.

Step 10

Make the wheels for the other carrots in the same way. For the medium carrot, start with 6g and divide into two. For the small carrot, start with 5g and divide into two. Once all the wheels are made, roll 6 small balls of black modelling paste. Apply a small amount of the bronze dust to the palm of your hand and roll each of the balls around in the dust to coat the paste. Roll each ball into a teardrop shape. Apply a small amount of water to the small indent in the centre of each wheel and stick the teardrops into place as shown.

Step 11

Stick a wheel each to each side of the corresponding carrot with a small amount of water, as shown.

Step 12

Step 13

Take 3g of flesh coloured paste, knead and soften to warm up and roll into a teardrop shape. Flatten slightly with your fingertip. Use the veining end of the Dresden tool to texture the fur.

Step 15

Take 30g of brown modelling paste, knead and soften to warm up. Roll into a ball. Roll the top of the ball backwards and forwards between your fingers to narrow the top of the head.

Step 16

First indent each eye position with the large end of the balling tool. Then use the small end of the balling tool to indent each eye socket as shown.
