*A lot of people have asked how I attach the head to the neck. All I do is put a little water on the neck that we formed in part 1 and after forming the head shape, you just push it onto the neck just until the bottom of the head covers the top of the neck or looks proportionate (not too long/short). Hope this helps.

[@ecaylaptus]

Why pay attention to those who dislike...compare to people who likes this, not even close to the disliker...great job baker! Awesome cake!

[@negra2105]

Same thing I wondered myself, but I realized that it doesn't matter how perfect u do things, there will always be people out there that won't appreciate it. Haters are everywhere!

[@lilliansanderson4778]

Mala Torres So true!

[@cherylcardona582]

Thank you for your tutorial it really was very helpful in making my bobble head pregnant lady topper the very first time.. Instructions were fantastic!

[@MrsHeatherH]

this is fantastic. She looks so real. amazing detail. Thank you so much for your video. Very very helpful. You make it look so easy, I'm sure it will be much harder than you make it look but I'm going to have a go. Thank you again.

[@bearglez2006]

WOW!! You are amazing at it!! thanks for sharing your talent with the world ;)

[@vr7037]

You, sir, just used the correct form of "you're" while on the internet. I applaud you, great knight of the interwebs.

[@helen13980]

Try using gum paste, it's the same as putting Tylo (CMC) to the icing. I prefer to use this. I have the same issue to get the shape of the arms and the legs right, but if you make the arms put them into the shape and position you need and leave them to dry for 24 hours before you stick them on, this helps a lot! If your icing dries out, I learnt a new trick last week, you can add a very tiny amount (bit on the end of your finger) of liquid glycerine to the icing, need it in, works a treat! :)

[@Krazyboutcakes]

this is THE BEST pregnant mommy tutorial I've seen! THANK YOU!!

[@bubblyblossom1]

This is totally perfect! The vid keeps cutting off when your about to do the neck... I'm on my phone so I'll have to try play it on my laptop coz up till that point... Best figure tutorial EVER! I want to make this girl but not pregnant... I'm assuming the only thing you do differently is not add the ball for the belly? Or do u have to shape the body differently? Thanks so much for this tutorial it's just fab

[@mrsangelleah1981]

wow. very impressive. i cant believe you can do it that fast. amazing.

[@changeusername56]

I absolutely loooooove this tutorial it s sooooooo cute i love it. thank you for sharing, i can watch this again and again and never get enough. i am going to try to attempt making this soon hopefully it turns out good. I am terrible at making figurines

[@Roo51091]

Lizzy this is amazing, is it just standard fondant you use? - do you combine anything to make it go firm? also what colour do you use for skin, you say ivory but i dont want her to be morbid white (trying to recreate myself for my baby shower) many thanks!! Amazing tutorial!!

[@bobbiech02]

making a human figure has always been a challenge for me.. haven't gotten it right til now.. will try your technique..hopefully i can get it right w/ this technique ... thanks for sharing :)

[@alifefulloffabulous7167]

THANK YOU so much for the tutorial, You have TALENT and class for sharing your craft

[@bubblyblossom1]

So I've just started this figure (but not pregnant) tonight... You make it look so easy! But it's not as easy as it looks to get the right proportions etc. your amazing! I'm having trouble with my fondant cracking only 5 mins after I've finished with a piece... Did I put too much tylose in it? Do you make your own fondant or buy it? I'm up to the top half of the body but I'll have to tackle that tomorrow coz it seems to be the hardest part!

[@justiceweston3804]

I really like this. my favorite line " don't, don't give her sausage arms". Lol

[@valindaharris2193]

Very detailed work. You make it look so easy. Amazing Job!

[@AuntieGloria]

So so nice of you to share this. I was easily able to recreate this lady using sculpey clay. But when I tried to do this with the fondant it cracked and the legs broke and fell off like they were too heavy. Do you have any advise? I'm having a terrible time with it. It doesn't stretch like. What canI do?

[@jackieharris4206]

Hi Lizzy, you make this look so easy and the legs and arms are really life like. What kind of fondant / sugar paste do you use, and do you add anything to the mix? Thanks

[@andreadaws4518]

This is an amazing video! Thank you so much for sharing your talents. I am wondering how to make a "princess", specifically how to do like a ball gown.

[@77skjackson]

[@shafeeqahr3169]

[@niloobakshi7868]

You make it look so easy! Fantastic !

[@pauladngh]

your video is just class, have been looking for ages to find a tutorial like this!! Can i ask did u mix anything in through your fondant to make it harder?? Thanks :)

[@chorelayy]

I reales Love your Video and you Tutorial...I am from Germany and I spend a Long Time in the Internet to find a Good Tutorial. From today in I am yur Brigges Fan :)))

[@auroratorresandrade1522]

Hi! Maybe your fondant is too old or dry, that's why it brokes itself. I always work the fondant in my hands a lot to heat it so it becomes warm and elastic. Another thing I do is using the whole pack of fondant at once, because although you keep it in good conditions it will begin to dry, and craking once you use it. Hope this helps you! ;)

[@meggeoghegan1273]

Fantastic tutorial. Thank you for making it easier for me to replicate your model 😊. I'm going to try it now

[@caroleclack1396]

Really great modelling what colours did you use to get your flesh colour paste thanks

[@erinjane9286]

YOU ARE SO TALENTED

[@sassydiane2]

Amazing thank you so much for sharing your talent !!!!!!!!

[@FranklinDify]

Thanks! I love your method and was so happy with how my own pregnant mommy turned out. I am just terrified that she will fall off the cake and break! I'll use royal icing just in case.

[@sallyhoffman7363]

Question about adding tylose powder. I read today, that add to fondant and sit for 24hrs before use. You seen to add this as you go along. Can you add in advance and does it keep without hardening when wrapped. Also, i read elsewhere, how to make the tylose glue, and says only keeps 2 weeks in fridge, do you agree with that? Thanks

[@luanabravo1]

do i have to say it... i love all the tutorials thank yuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[@hunny2454]

Thank you will give that a try,yes it is fondent icing

[@jessicanoobwang7258]

Can you make a baby girl cake topper please I can't find a good one on here and your really good at making them

[@Cakescake252]

Cant wait to try it.. may I ask what type of fondant you used?

[@kimallen5463]

[@breesmail07]

You're awesome...I love your attention to detail

[@chantoms1]

Thank you for sharing your craft....amazing !

[@purringkitycat]

i think you did an awesome job on this topper, do you make these to sell

[@gostyokim]

You make it look so easy!

[@hunny2454]

This is a idea if your fondent dry's out using tylose powder us a little margarine works wonders

[@karenyocom6665]

Fabulous!! Great instruction, thanks so much!

[@marleyherrington1775]

if you mix a TINY amount of shortening to your fondant it will help with the drying out and the cracks :-) but make sure to not use to much it'll ruin the fondant...

[@shaya676]

this is a nice way to tell your husbant you re pregnant!!!

[@chloeterry8676]

that was cool cant wait to see part 2

[@vipanther46]

You are amazing!!! do you make your fondant or buy it? and if so want brands do you use.

[@ChristinaWedell]

I noticed at the end of this video there was only 1 pop stick sticking out from her foot instead of both of the feet showed on the 1 st video. Is it best to cut the other stick off?

[@huskamania]

I'm sorry to be a pain, but how much ( sort of) do you use for each feature? Legs, torso, head sort of thing?

[@lesliedayformallyfrazier726]

"focus" is fine.. needs to be "centered" your working off to the side.... but this is exactly what i needed for the main idea of what im making thanks

[@YourGirl918]

Omg I made it didnt turn out exactly thesame butreally nice. my first figurine took me 5 hours to get it done lol! Dunno how many I had restarted Thks for sharing;)

[@izzypizzlemsp7475]

I would be very thankful if you made this.

[@flifr]

YOUR HANDS ARE MAGIC O.o

[@tsokolate7]

AMAZING HANDS... i wish i could do that!

[@alinaklimaszewska7560]

What is the material you use for sculpting it, it seems very elastic.

[@SUHEDA42]

what did you use for these body? the structure of my fondant has not the same structure.. pleasee i need the same one?

[@Karime70]

great video, what color do you use for the skin?

[@jasminDH]

oh my this is adorable and you are VERY good at this :)

[@hunny2454]

Can you tell me please what the powder is you added as i couldn't hear was you said

[@caroleclack1396]

Hi sorry foe got to ask I brought some ready made paste but it don't set hard do I need to add tylose to set it and how do you store your modals

[@samritisabharwal4757]

[@jessicafaisal3566]

[@anna63lps]

Beautiful work. Have yo taken sculpting classes?

[@Be_Loved11]

could you please tell me the size f each piece that you started with?the litte ball pieces?

[@Bakermomof2]

How would your support her if she were to be a standing figure? I have watched your standing figure video but their jeans are wide enough to put a stick in it for support. If my standing figure is wearing shorts or a skirt, how can she stand? Thanks!

[@wuxuezhen1319]

Maybe u could try to put a wooden dowel like a skinny on through the legs and well technically the whole body

[@katiekaos629]

that lil belly is soooo perfect! I might try this for a babyshower coming up

[@micheleromiri1382]

[@jasminDH]

"these are very coney right now" LOL I CRACKED UP!!!!

[@susanclancy197]

This is fab but when I try to make adding tylo powder to fondant it always cracks. I'm pulling my hair out trying to get this to work for the 2nd eve! Why is it cracking under the armpits every time.. Can't get the arms slim enough to support themselves either.

[@hunny2454]

Hi Thank you,Im going to make a 40th birthday cake as well in a number 4 and 0 cake tins do you know how much ingredients i need please

[@thepopperlocker]

[@francis172272]

THANK YOU!!,, you are an artist!

[@hunny2454]

Hi,Im not sure where to buy this from can you use anything else or could you let me know please where to buy this powder Thank you

[@AuntieGloria]

I tried making the legs smaller. I think it lacks elasticity because the knees crack no matter how carefully I bend them. Do you know what I can do about that.

[@OLAJUMOKEable]

pls which colour can l use that will give me brown colour .thanks

[@hunny2454]

Hi,I have tried over and over again and keeps cracking and drying out,Im using ready rolled icing could this be the trouble,What are you using for your lady please

[@Javianime214]

Hey do you think you can do a male figurine (obviously not pregnant)

[@Esprit2584]

wow this is amazing! I want to make this for my sister but I probably never could :(

[@vipanther46]

is tylose powder the same as merange powder? and if not where can I get tylose powder or an equivalent?

[@KatzeARL]

Lady, you are all sorts of awesome....

[@loverocks4013]
