Directions 做法

Knead a pinch of tylose powder into the dark brown fondant. Roll a portion into an egg shape for the body. Place on a piece of parchment paper so it won’t stick and can be moved around easily. Shape two smaller dark brown fondant of same size into teardrop shapes for the horse’s feet. Bend the round ends slightly like an L shape and flatten the ends. Roll two more dark brown fondant pieces into long teardrop shapes for the upper limbs. Glue all four pieces to the body with water. Brush one end of a pasta stick with water then insert into the body as a support.
深啡色翻糖加入一少撮tylose粉搓勻，取一部份搓成蛋形做成身體，放在牛油紙上(可防黏及方便移動)，取兩個小的深啡色翻糖搓成水滴形做小馬的後肢，將較圓的一端屈成L形後按扁，再取兩個小的深啡色翻糖搓成水滴形作前肢，將四肢用水黏在身體上，把水掃在意大利麵條的一端後插入身體作支撐。

For the head, roll a medium size dark brown fondant into a ball then shape it into a cashew. Roll some light brown fondant into a small ball then flatten into a disc. Stick this onto the head with water as the snout of the horse. Use a fondant ball tool to make the nostrils. Make a smiley face with a scallop modelling tool.
取中型深啡色翻糖搓成圓球輕輕塑成腰果狀作馬的頭部，將一小塊淺啡色翻糖搓圓後壓成塊狀，用水黏在頭上成為鼻子，用翻糖球形塑型工具壓出兩個鼻孔，再用翻糖扇貝塑型工具壓出笑臉。

Trim the pasta stick to about half of the height of the head. Brush with water then stick in the head. Roll little balls of dark brown fondant into triangles for the ears and black fondant into two tiny balls for the eyes. Attach to the head with water. Use white icing or melted white chocolate to draw on the eyes.
把麵條修短至約頭部一半高度，掃上水後把小馬的頭插上，取少量深啡色翻糖捏成三角形作耳朵，再取少量黑色翻糖搓成兩個小圓球作眼睛，分别用水黏在小馬頭上，以牙籤沾白色色膏或白朱古力溶液點上眼珠。

For the hooves, wrap the bottom part of each limb with black fondant strips or discs. Make the horseshoes out of gray fondant and attach to the lower limb. Poke some holes with a toothpick. For the mane, roll black fondant into short strings and attach them to the back of the neck and top of the head. Make red fondant strips for the bridle and attach to the head with water. Roll gray fondant into two tiny balls, flatten slightly and attach to each side of the bridle as the bits.
將黑色翻糖壓扁後切長條或按成塊狀包在四肢底部作馬蹄，用灰色翻糖作馬蹄鐵黏在後肢，再用牙籤刺出小洞，將黑色翻糖搓成幼條作鬃毛，用水逐一黏在馬頸背上及頭頂，取紅色翻糖壓扁後切幼條包在頭上作韁繩，再取灰色翻糖搓成兩個小圓球按扁黏在韁繩兩旁作嚼環。

Knead a pinch of tylose powder into the green fondant. Roll out fondant thinly then cut out a circle with a round scallop cutter. Glue the horse on top. Take some black fondant strings and pinch the top together to make the horse’s tail. Attach to the bottom of the horse with water. I also made a number 2 to represent the age of the birthday girl. Let the horse dry in a cool place overnight.
綠色翻糖加入少量tylose粉搓勻後壓薄，用波浪邊切模切出圓形，用水把小馬黏在上面，取黑色翻糖搓成數條幼條，疊在一起捏緊頂部做尾巴，用水黏在馬的臀部，EC亦把代表小朋友歲數的2字放上，完成後把小馬置陰涼處風乾一天。
