How to: Christmas Pinguins

17 December 2012

I saw these adorable choco pinguins in the internet.. and I just knew it, I had to do them!..
They are cute, sweet, (almost) easy to make, and kids will love it this Christmas!

So here is the how to, you will need:
-Chocolate-coated marshmallow treats (Dutch zoenen / Spanish: Besos de Moza)
-Fondant in white (faces), orange(feet), little black, red, blue and green color

-Basic cutters: heart and circle shape.

1.- use some basic tools: a basic shape for hearts and circles in white fondant, those will be the pinguin faces, like this:

2.-Use some orange fondant in heart shape for the feet.
Paste the faces and feet with chocolate.

3.-Create the pinguin beaks using little pieces of orange fondant. Paste them with chocolate.
As you see in the picture I also added a little bow, using two little candy hearts. I also wanted to create a winter "ear warmer" so, I pasted a straight line of white fondant above the pinguin head and I made two little round blue shapes for the ears. Again, paste with chocolate.

4.-For the Santa Pinguins: make two little balls of fondant in two different colors. Give them the Santa hat shape and use white fondant around. Like this:

5.-We are almost finish. Now the eyes: using black fondant , paste them with a tiny drop of water to the pinguin face. Then , use white fondant to paste them on top of the black, to give them a nice look.
