Tip 1: You can make a snow man and his family using the same tutorial with a few little tweaks like instead of flippers and feet add some twigs made with wires and modelling chocolate

Tip 2: If you have some left over white Saracino that wasn’t used for a while and is a bit hard then how about crushing it in food processor and using it as snow?

You will need:

Step 2

Roll a small amount of white modelling paste into a thin sheet

Using a metal heart shape cutter cut a heart shape on the bottom of the sheet to have a flat base instead of a pointy one

Step 4

Now give a deeper “V” cut to the heart using the cutter as shown in the picture

Step 5

It should look like the photo above
