Basic shape: Skirt piece was made in a pudding basin. A piece of sculptured cake was added to the top of this to make the upper skirt piece. The head was made entirely from fondant icing. This did present problems because of the fondant icing being quite soft and being unable to support the upright position. Probably better to prepare it early to enable some drying out or to make it from something else, possibly marzipan.
Decor: The frills surrounding the skirt were made from a semi circular cut piece of fondant with the centre taken out, leaving a strip in an arc shape. The edge of this was then rolled with a cocktail stick.
