Bakery
How do I make cakes and rolls for a bakery room? I have regular clay. Someone
said must use Primo clay! Where would I get that?? And what about paint for icing, frosting...? Thank you! |

Crayola Model Magic has a wonderful texture for bread products. Different
brands of polymer clay might have differences in properties such as ease of working, etc, but once cured can't figure one brand's being better than another for cakes & pastries. Some people use buttons for their cakes, using ornamental buttons for the top layers and painting the relief details in different colorss for the "decorations". Frosting could be thickly applied acrylic paints or the puffy paints, or a thin layer of white or off-white polymer clay for a fondant icing. Most large craft chainstores (Michael's, Ben Franklin, etc) carry these products. "COcon28932" wrote in message . How do I make cakes and rolls for a bakery room?Someone said must use Primo clay!

You don't "must use" anything - it's whatever works. REAL dough isn't a good idea because eventually the ants find it For simple cakes, we usually start out with a slice of a wooden dowel or just a small wooden block, depending on the shape (or for children's cakes, a small flat duck or rabbit or cartoon character shape). Then decorate as desired with one or more of paint, joint compound or spackiling paste, and stuff like that. There are paint pens of various sorts that can give a 3-D icing effect to lettering, too. There are many publications, web pages, etc. on these topics - Do some google searches for miniature bakery miniature bread miniature food then try again with the word MAKE added to those words ... - Herb |

I suspect flour and water with a little paint would make a cake and
icing, and if it was sitting on a button that would be the plate. COcon28932 wrote: How do I make cakes and rolls for a bakery room? I have regular clay. Someone said must use Primo clay! Where would I get that?? And what about paint for icing, frosting...? Thank you! |

Very nice frosting can be made for bakery items by using acrylic craft
paint such as Delta Ceramcoat AND Silicone bathtub caulk that dries CLEAR. Mix equal parts more or less and frost away. The caulk makes the frosting stay puffy and shiny. Marcie Marcie Van Deren Kalispell, MT |
