(back to part 1 - Layers)
Mr. Twinkie:
Trim ends so that Twinkie can sit upright and hat has a flat edge to adhere to. Refer to picture on box of Twinkies as a guide for Mr. Twinkie. Cut small round eyes and mouth out of black and white fondant. Moisten back edges of cut pieces and position to make a face on one end of Twinkie.
Tux shirt is made from an elongated triangle, with pointed end in front and edges crossed in back. Add buttons and bow-tie, all cut from fondant. Position Mr. Twinkie on top of cake.
For legs, use fondant lightly tinted beige to match Twinkies. Roll a cylinder about 4-inches long, then cut in half to make each leg. Slightly flatten one end to make a hip and position long side of Twinkie. Add arms in similar fashion as legs using a cylinder and shaping as needed. Use a small amount of prepared frosting as glue to adhere fondant arms and legs.
With red fondant, shape a small amount into a foot-shape, then add a flattened piece to make a boot. To add decorative "stitching" to boot, use a black, edible-ink, cake-decorator color marker.
Shape small gloves from white fondant and add to arms as hands. For hat, refer to the picture and shape a hat from black fondant. Use frosting as the glue to adhere hat to Twinkie.
Mrs. Twinkie:
For Mrs. Twinkie, trim Twinkie to make flat top and bottom, then add face, arms, legs and hands similar to Mr. Twinkie. Position Mrs. Twinkie on top of cake, next to Mr. Twinkie.
For her shoes, shape small amount of white fondant for shoes and decorate with a tiny flower cut with a tiny cookie cutter and add a fondant pearl.
Dress collar is made from two elongated triangles, positioned like a collar with edges crossed in back. Thin strips of fondant below collar form the bodice of the dress. To finish collar, cut a tiny flower with a cookie cutter and place in center of collar; add a fondant pearl in the center.
For skirt, it is shaped from a half circle, draped to appear as a skirt. Train is made from a large circle, positioned to start at the back waist and draped to hide much of the top of the cake. (Using a pizza wheel with serrated edge will help form a scalloped edge on the skirt and train.)
Veil is triangular piece of white fondant. To finish edge, cut tiny flowers out of fondant with tiny cookie cutter. Shape a crown with a little cylinder of fondant and position on head. Attach veil to back of crown. Finish crown with a row of tiny flowers cut with a cookie cutter.
Shape small cylinders of green fondant to make stems of flowers. Drape steams from hands as desired. Cut pastel colored fondant with small cookie cutter into flower shapes and position on end of stems. Pipe a contrasting color into the center of each flower.
