I had thought about melted chocolate Nelle, but it needs to be coloured & I'm not sure how to colour chocolate properly. I'm making him two Kombis so they need to have different cooured parts.
I can highly reccomend marshmallow fondant icing (sometimes called MMF on cake decorating sites). It's easy to make with marshmallows melted with a touch of water and then icing sugar mixed in.
Very very easy to work with and gives a fantastic fondant finish with a nice marshmallow/vanilla flavour. It can be coloured and shaped like store bought fondant. Also, if you use it while its still warm and use less icing sugar, it makes a good poured fondant as well.
