Step 10: Nose
Form the nose by creating a sausage with modelling paste. To create the nostrils and nose wing, stick in a pointed modelling tool and pull carefully outwards.
Step 11: Ears
For children, the ears should be placed level with the middle of the eyes and middle of the mouth( when looking at head from the side). Roll modelling paste into an egg shape, pull a hole in and form with ball tool using c-shape indentations.
Step 12: Hair
Cover the head with a hood of light brown fondant mixed with CMC. Add volume to the hair by shaping drop-shaped pieces of fondant. Texture them with the dresden tool, shape them into strands of hair and attach them with edible glue. To keep their position when drying, paper towel is very helpful. The hair gets a more realistic look if you marble some beige and dark brown into the light brown fondant. For this I used my paste colour which I thinned out with alcohol.
