Using a small bowl of pudding, one of my children's figurines, a toothpick and a pair of tongs, I tested the 'pudding angel' theory, which I assume is akin or corollary somehow to the custard theory (though I'm surely no scientist). Here is what I found:

Pudding is not the medium of choice for making angels. In an attempt to simulate appendage flailing, I tweaked the doll with the toothpick but wasn't successful in creating any angelic imagery, just a sticky mess. On the good side it was noted that the small figurine did not sink into the pudding; however; extrapolating upward into our scale to a person of average height, one would have to weigh in at approximately five pounds (2.3 kg) for guaranteed floatage*.

The figure had to be extracted using the tongs, and any impression that it may have made in the pudding was marred by the pudding's adhesive properties. Note that the ensuing 3-D shape created by the doll's extraction in no way resembled any humanoid, terrestrial or otherwise - and I'm somewhat of the imaginative sort. Those under the influence of psychotropic substances may believe otherwise and may be prompted to purchase said pudding angels on eBay.

My accomplice of the night was the dog, who patiently looked on, possibly hoping to participate in the doll's cleaning. This prompted the small insight in that further scaled-up testing involving a small pool of pudding and a human volunteer could be dangerous in that that much pudding/custard may attract unwanted attention from those of the Lalwendëian sort (e.g "I must have that custard!").


*Pudding floatage for witches was not determined and should be attempted with due caution.
