• 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.

• If you want some coloured mice split the dough into three parts.In one add some red food colouring to make pink mice.In another add cocoa powder for fawn mice
• Divide up the dough into however many mice you want (size is up to you) and make a sort of short fat sausage shape out of each section. Roll at the front to get a pointy nose and pinch either side to get the ear shape.

• Put your mousy masterpieces on to baking paper/grease proof paper and on to a tray in the fridge overnight to set completely.
