I lost the pattern I had for this Gingerbread Swan and only had an old picture to go from so I recreated the pattern. The body is baked on a small stainless steel bowl. The wings and tail pieces were curved on top of balls of tin foil. I painted all body pieces with white Royal Icing, then I piped "feather" patterns over the wings and tail. The crown was piped on an upside down funnel, when dry it slid right off! I had a lot of fun making this one. Maybe next time I'll make individual feathers out of gumpaste and glue them all over. Makes a really nice centerpiece---I can put little presents, cookies or candies inside the bowl. I hope to put some instructions together with the pattern pieces for anyone who is interested. I'll post a link here later when I get it done.
I found the link, thanks! If I make it I will post a picture! This is so kewl.
