TIP:

“it’s almost impossible to keep white paste dust-free as you work with it and even the smallest piece of dust is very annoying. With a cotton swab soaked in vodka you can gently clean the dust off your model. Otherwise use a baby wipe towel to clean your  finished model for larger areas.”

You will need:

  • Saracino modeling paste (white, black, pink)
  • Non stick board
  • Edible glue
  • Knife
  • Dresden tool
  • Point tool
  • Small flower former mould
  • Fine brush
  • Saracino gel colour black
  • Clear alcohol

Step 1

Take a piece of white paste (19g) and roll it into a sausage shape.

Step 2

With the knife cut one end of it in half to split the two back legs

Step 3

Bend each leg and form the back.

Step 4

In this photo you can see how they should be shaped.

Step 5

Use the Dresden tool to make some details.

Step 6

Use the other side of the same tool to form the paws.

Step 7

Take 3g of white paste and roll it into sausage shape

Step 8

Bend it in an angle and flatten the upper end. This will be one front leg.

Step 9

Do the same thing with the other leg and attach them to the body. With the Dresden tool form the details of the paws.

Step 10

Take a piece of white paste (13g) and make an oval shape

Step 11

Using your finger push one end lightly

Step 12

With your finger push the other end too, leaving some space in the middle

Step 13

With your Dresden tool push one end to make a dimple where the mouth is

Step 14

Use your fingers to smooth and form the shape if needed.

Step 15

Use your Dresden tool to apply pressure down the middle of the remaining high part to form two cheeks

Step 16

Model and form the shape with your Dresden tool and fingers to make the cheeks round and stand out.

Step 17

Now for the whiskers. Take a small piece of paste and shape it into a teardrop, flatten it with your fingers and make some definition / whiskers with the point tool.

Step 18

Attach it as shown on one side of the face and make another for the other side

Step 19

Using a little edible glue fix the head to the body. Now roll two small balls of paste and using your fingers form them into oval shapes. Fix them above cheeks to start making the eyes.

Step 20

Roll a small piece of black paste for the nose.

Step 21

Place it on the center of the face

Step 22

Now for the tail and eyes. Roll a small piece of white paste into a tapered sausage shape for the tail, use a little black at the end. Then roll two small balls of black paste and fix for the eyes.

Step 23

Dilute some of your black Saracino powder colour with clear alcohol. Using a fine brush paint the eyelids

Step 24

Using black paste roll a very thin sausage for the eyebrows (narrower at each end).

Step 25

Roll a small piece of pink paste for the tongue

Step 26

Place it into the mouth. Use a small amount of Saracino edible glue if required. Form the groove in the tongue with your Dresden tool.

Step 27

For the ears roll two small piece of white paste to the same size. Flatten one of them with your finger. Use your Dresden tool to form the groove down the centre.

Step 28

Add a little black paste to the top of the ear.

Step 29

Attach to the top of the head where you would like the ears to be.

TIP: You can give your little puppy different characters with how you place the ears.

Step 30

Now repeat with the other ear.

Step 31

For his chest roll a small teardrop shape of white paste, press down using your finger and then using your Dresden tool give definition for the hair.

Step 32

Using a small amount of edible glue fix the chest to the model.

Step 33

Your puppy is now ready! Woof Woof

Skill Level:

Beginner

In this tutorial Vicky Teather from The Yellow Bee Cake Co shows you how to create Ralph, the super cute puppy.  This tutorial is perfect for the dog lover in your life. 

You will need:
  • 80g Saracino Pasta Model: Brown
  • 20g Saracino Pasta Model: White
  • 4g Saracino Pasta Model: Pink
  • 2g Saracino Pasta Model: Black
  • Saracino Dust Colour: Red
  • Gel Colour: Caramel
  • Modelling Tools: Dresden, Bulbous Cone
  • Large and Mini Ball Tools
  • Craft Knife
  • Edible Glue
  • Paintbrush
  • Dusting Brush
  • Cocktail Stick

Step 1

For the body, shape 35g of Brown modelling paste into an egg. 

Step 2

Use the other end of the Bulbous Cone tool to press the paste away from the centre of the shape.

Step 3

Smooth the paste with your fingers around the front legs to enhance and then use the Dresden tool to indent either side of the legs and a further line down the centre. Use your fingers to shape the paste to round off any harsh edges left by the tools.

Step 4

Sit the body back up on its end. Use your fingers to thin out the top of the body.

Step 5

Press the side of your finger into the body to create the haunches. Then use the Dresden tool to mark a distinct line around the haunch. Smooth the haunches with your fingers to round the shape and continue to mark with the Dresden until a crease has formed.

Step 6

Colour 15g of the White modelling chocolate with the Caramel gel colour. Take 5g of the Caramel paste and shape into a long teardrop. Place the wide end over the chest of the body and begin to smooth and blend the paste into the body using your fingers. Re mark the front legs with the Dresden.

Step 7

For the feet, take two small balls of Caramel paste and shape into hemispheres. Press the Dresden tool into the rounded edge of the paste twice and repeat with the craft knife to enhance the mark. For the back legs, take two larger balls and roll into cones. Repeat the above to mark in the toes. 

Step 8

Glue the small feet to the front legs and the cone shaped feet underneath the haunches.

Step 9

Roll a pea sized ball of Brown paste into a cylinder and attach to the top of the body. Roll 4g of Brown paste into a long sausage with a tapered end. Trim the paste to a 5cm length and glue in place. 

Step 10

Roll the Pink modelling paste into a sausage and attach around the base of the neck. Push a cocktail stick into the neck and down through the body.

Step 11

For the head, shape 35g of Brown modelling paste into a rounded dome. Press a large ball tool into the lower edge to create two wells. Fill the wells with a pea sized ball of Caramel paste and then use the ball tool to blend the paste into the head.

 

Step 12

Press a smaller ball tool into the inner corner of the eyes. Fill with a large ball of White modelling paste. The paste should bulge out of the holes. Use your fingers to gently flatten the front of the ball.

Step 13

Press a smaller ball tool into the inner corners of the eye. Fill with a 50/50 mix of Brown and White modelling paste. Repeat with an even smaller ball tool, to which you should fill with a small ball of Black modelling paste. Add two small balls of White modelling paste to each eye for a highlight.

 

Step 14

Shape 3g of Caramel modelling paste into an ovoid. Use the Dresden tool to mark a deep line down the centre of the shape. Draw in a mouth along the lower edge and use a mini ball tool to add dimples at either end of the smile.

Step 15

Add a small ball of Caramel paste to the lower edge of the mouth. 

 

Step 16

For the nose, take a small ball of Black modelling paste and shape into a triangle. Press a small ball tool into the nose on either side of the point to create the nostrils. Glue the nose to the top of the muzzle and then glue the muzzle in place on the lower edge of the face.

Step 17

For the ears take two 2g balls of Brown modelling paste and shape into cones. Take two smaller balls of Caramel paste and shape into cones. Place the Caramel cone on top of the Brown cone and gently press the two together with your fingers. Then press the Bulbous Cone tool into the paste to thin the inner ear. Pinch the bottom edge of the ear together and then trim away the point to create a flat base. Glue in place on either side of the head. Bend one ear over slightly.

 

Step 18

Lightly dust the cheeks with the Red dust colour. 

Step 19

Press a mini ball tool into the centre of the head.

 

Step 20

Roll a very fine sausage of paste and glue into the hole on top of the head. Bend the top into a curl.

Step 21

Glue the head at an angle on top of the body. Ta-dah Ralph is finished!
