Wedding Birds

[Second200]

I am commissioned to make birds for a wedding. They cannot be heron, crane, or stork type birds. I am not sure about the quantity I am to make, but I was told that two of them would be used for cake toppers. I am looking for all sorts of ideas. I was also wondering if there was a paper that wouldn't become damaged from oils that the frosting may have. Thank you in advance for any input given.

try contacting david derudas and asking if you can use his due cigni.

madarko has a fantastic variant on quyet's "the dance."

unless i am mistaken, the frosting may not just have "oils," but i believe the basis for most would be butter.

What difficulty are you looking for?

A personal favorite of mine is the traditional dove, its fairly recognizable:

for the paper try using baking paper or wax paper.

there is actually a whole line of food safe papers specifically for wrapping sandwiches and the like. some of them have very nice designs but i have only ever seen black and brown patterns or white and black patters. Here is a link: http://www.nashvillewraps.com/food-pack ... 49795.html
