I need to make gum paste figurine of Mr. Snuffleeupagus ( from sesame street). I need some advice on what to use, royal icing or gum paste to get that “Hairy” look?? Any advice I can get on the best way to get that look would be sooooooooo appreciated.

I ended up using Royal Icing, it gave me the best look for the character. He was used on a Chirstmas Gingerbread House contest and I am HAPPY to say it won First Place!!
