if you want winnie the pooh characters 3d ones without making them yourself..squires kitchen do the whole set in marizpan depending on size from £2.95 -£4.95 there piglet, pooj, eyeore, tigger and others..just log on to their on line shop.....
Also with decorating in buttercream //,first bake and cut cake use your sugar syrup to keep it moist. Then do a thin layer of buttercream over the cake and put in the fridge to harden. This will seal in all the loose crumbs and give you a firmer base to work from. Then once hard bring out and cover properly with another layer of buttercream...You should now be able to get a clean finish woith out crumbs...To get a smooth finish run over with a warm knife which has been put in boiling water and wiped nearly dry...............
Hope that helps..If you need anything else..just ask
