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.

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 ...

Many of the artisans use Fimo or Sculpy (spelling?) which you can buy at
craft stores.

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.

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.
