Cut Styrofoam with a circle cutter. My Styrofoam was 7/8″ thick so I glued two together. Using a ribbon cutter and a circle cutter, cut pieces of gum paste and cover Styrofoam. Don’t roll your gum paste out thin or else you’ll see the bumpy Styrofoam through it. Glue the gum paste to the Styrofoam with gum glue.

Bend 18 gauge wire around a rolling pin as shown. Use gum glue to secure into the stroller.

Bend 4 more wires and glue into Styrofoam for the canopy’s support. Drape fondant over wires and cut to the proper size. Be sure to fold the fondant under on the front of the canopy and secure with gum glue. You may have to play around with it a bit to get it just right.
