Step 9:
Glue the arms inplace at
the shoulders covering
up the join in the jacket.
Bend at the elbows and
let the ends of the sleeves
rest on the top of the legs,
ready for the hands.

Step 13:
Roll the white fondant into
a large teardrop shape.
Bend as shown in the
picture with the larger end
if the teardrop as the hem
of the dress.

Step 10:
Roll black fondant out
quite thin and cut a strip
for the jackets collar and
lapel.

Step 14:
Sit the dress on the edge
of the dummy cake and
manipulate the fondant to
create a body shape, tapering in at the waist and
the knees. Cut the end
of the dress to create the
hem and place a support
underneath to stop it for
stretching too far. Insert
a long tooth pick down
through the dress and into
the dummy.

Step 11:
Cut one end of the strip
on an angle. Gently place
glue around the edge
of the jacket where the
collar/lapel is to go taking care not to spread
the glue too far as it will
show up against the black
fondant. Place the strip
along this edge and cut
an angle at the other end
to line up with the first
side.

Step 15:
Roll a small amount of
flesh coloured fondant
with tylose added into a
ball then pull out a thinner
piece as per the photo,
this will be the neck and
chest.

Step 12:
For the bride, roll a ball
of white fondant in some
tylose so it holds its shape
when modelled.

Step 16:
Place this part on top of
the dress allowing the
skewer to go through the
neck.
