About food prep scenes

Today was a really lonnnnnnnngggggggg day at school. Both litterally and metaphorically. So I decided to write a quick post. Mini stuff always cheers me up :)

Anyway, back to the point, here are some of the pictures of my attempted baking scenes. The more recent one is the cupcake one at the bottom.
The setup for the cookies only require really basic materials - clay, liquid clay, acryllics, mini bowls, flour and a board. The paper bag, metal tray and heart shaped cutters were homemade.

The cupcakes one required more materials, which i got from my rement display set, which i got as a gift.
The chocolate, muffins/cupcakes were self-made while the sugar is simulated by craft sand.

Chicken with vegetables

Roast Chicken! With a chunk cut of its back.
The carrots were cut from one of my successful carrot cane, which is a fairly easy cane since it is only a circle within a circle.

The colour of the chicken is also created using chalk pastles. The gravy, which looks kinda faint is resin tinted with brown acryllic.

Was thinking about putting on cherry tomatoes but looks like it slipped my mind :)

Ice cream and waffles

The finished ice cream! As promised :)

Waffles made using the first mold I made. This will be the first giveaway item! But I will have to add the butter and syrup and fruits first. and perphaps a little whipped cream :)

Pancakes!

Mmm..fresh from the pan.

The pancake texture is made using the bread texture technique. The syrup is resin. The strawberry cane is ready made. Still working on my caning skills, but still not having much success yet. So far, I have only managed the banana and carrot cane.

The resin is mixed with a tiny really teeny amount of yellow and orange acryllic. Too much will make it loose its translucency. The ideal form of dye is well, resin dye but glass tint should work too.


Plate of pancake with strawberry slices - $4.50
Addition of cutlery- Addition of $2
(sorry about the high price of the cutlery, since it is imported, the price tends to be a little high)

Sugar donuts

Sugar donuts****



Sugar donuts are a lot easier to make that iced/forsted donuts. The sugar is magnificently simulated by craft sand. I got my craft sand from Mdm. Ang and I think that was her last pack. I have yet to find out where else in Singapore craft sand is sold. Art stores should hold it, might do a little "research" during the next school holudays.




Plate of sugar donuts(above) - $3.50
Plate of sugar donuts magnet - $4.50

Ice cream :)

Finally! The perfect ice cream texuture. This success has to be credited to Renee :) for the sandpaper tip.
I initially thought that patting the sandpaper was supposed to give it the desired texture but turns out that rubbing the sandpaper did the trick.

I am not sure if I would be able to pull of this technique in dollhouse scale but would get to some experimenting soon. I would also be making a cone for this one and turn it into a magnet perhaps. Photos of the completed product to follow!

Beverages

 Drinks, especially more "translucent" drinks can be made using resin.(last picture) Most resins need to be mixed with a catalyst or hardener to well, harden. The one I use is mixed in a 1:1 ratio.

The fruit canes are unfortuanately, not made by me. I bought them from Mdm Ang, the inspiring artisan I talked about in my first post. The straws are fishing lines, a freebie given to me my Mdm Ang. The ice cubes are also homemade from resin. A little tricky to cut up but not impossible.

Fruity Drink**

bubble tea

                         
   

Beverages can also be made using liquid polymer clay. Provided you are putting your drink in a BAKEABLE container. oh and NEVER NEVER BAKE RESIN.

Fruity Drink  $3.50

Lemonade $3
