I was going to make the horse out of modeling chocolate but I tried making it for the first time and it was wringing with oil? So I scraped it and had to think fast as I was running out of time, I made a mould from my Daughters Mike The Night horse using silicone plastique I did one for each side and then joined the two together I then used royal icing like poly filler to smooth the gaps and pipe on the mane. I used gel for the river to maintain the wet look. I have found kids toys to be very handy in the past especially Playdough toys and moulds.
