Yield 30 Mouse Sized Mice

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 lbs granulated sugar
3/4 pint water
3 ounces liquid glucose or 3 ounces light corn syrup
1 teaspoon cocoa powder or 1 teaspoon red food coloring
nice clean white string or kitchen twine

Steps:

  • Put the sugar and water into a pan, and heat gently until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Add glucose, and boil until 240 degrees Fahrenheit/105 centigrade.
  • Take from heat, and allow to cool until it starts to thicken.
  • When cool enough to handle, work in the coloring, if you are using it, and knead it.
  • Pat out into a square.
  • Separate fondant into equal parts (1 inch squares work really well.).
  • COVER! in a bowl, in a freezer bag, anything so it won't dry out. It gets irritating when it's dried out --
  • Roll each piece between hands till it's nice and smooth.
  • Stick the tails into the fondant.
  • Shape into mice-shapes.
  • Take a tiny bit of fondant, work in the cocoa powder or food coloring to make noses.Pink or brown noses :) your choice!
  • Place on parchment and let dry for 24 hours. Keeps for ages, just keep them cool, dry, separate.
