What you will need:
PME Shell tool
PME Blade tool
PME Ball tool
Various sugarpaste colours
Thin paintbrush
Toothpicks
Water and icing sugar (to make edible glue)

Step one: Knead your main sugarpaste colour and form into two somewhat pear shaped pieces. The large will be your mouse’s body and the smaller will be the head.

Step two: Insert a toothpick into the mouse’s body, paint some edible glue onto the neck and around the top of the toothpick. Place the smaller piece onto the body.

Step three: To make your mouse’s tummy roll out some contrasting sugarpaste in an oblong shape and glue to your mouse.

Step four: Now for you mouse’s ears! Make a small oblong shape with your main sugarpaste colour and stick a smaller oblong in a contrasting colour on top. Next cut in half.

Step five: Paint glue onto the sides of the head and attach the ears.

Step six: For the nose use the smaller end of the ball tool to make an indentation where the nose should be. Make a tiny ball of contrasting sugarpaste, paint on some edible glue and stick the little nose in place.

Step seven: Using some contrasting sugarpaste shape some tiny little hands and feet (they can be balls, oblonges or triangular shaped). To make cute little toes and fingers on your mouse use the shell tool!

Step eight: For the tail it best that the majority of it stick to the body as it is delicate and may snap off. Using the smaller ball tool make a large-ish indentation in the mouse’s bum. Roll out about 2 inches of contrasting sugarpaste into a tail shape and attach to the bum.

Step nine: Finally, using the small ball tool make some eyes. Yay! Now you have your own adorable little sugar paste mouse!
