Step 1: Red Mockingjay

Red Fondant

For the red Mockingjay you'll need to create the body, wings and tail out of red fondant. To help, use an image of the Mockingjay to work off. Once you've created the Mockingjay, use a knife to create details on the body. To finish create a circle for the Mockingjay to go in.
