    I'll be interested in your results. I don't like fondant, so I also wanted to make the harder ones like you find in the shops. One hint I've had is to use egg white or egg white powder. However, the only ones I saw made with this recipe were so soft, they held their form very briefly, then melted into puddles with the red boot-lace tails and dragee eyes floating freely in amongst the mix. It looked like some horrific road kill model. This was a workshop on a school trip to a local museum with a working kitchen, and I was supposed to extract each child's mouse and send it home as a souvenir. To be honest it genuinely typified the trip.

    Hope is not a strategy :D...A child is for life, not just 18 years....Don't get me started on the NHS, because you won't win...I love chaz-ing!

    :D lol!

    I'm surprised you can get mice moulds now. Back in the day, the thrill of making these and things like marzipan fruits, flowers etc was all in the hand moulding :p

    They are pretty though :)
