Hey everyone! Today I have a realistic cupcake to share with you guys. I'll post the steps below.
Materials:
- black clay for the base and cake
- white clay for the flower petals
- a bit of black for the flower center
- dotted tool for cake texture
- hair or baby oil (2-4 drops)
- liquid glue or tls (translucent liquid Sculpey)
- a tool with a flat end (plastic will work)
- small container (I used the last half of a styrofoam cup)
- Shape the black clay into a rectangle, then pinch one side a bit on the edges to form a skinny bottom but wide top.
- Put more black clay on the circular top part, and it needs to be that wide, too. The top should be a bit peaked, to show rising and elevation.
- Soften the purple until it is really, well, soft! It needs to be as smooth as possible, too.
- Once that's done, break it into pieces and put them into the container.
- Add 2-3 drops of liquid glue onto the clay.
- Stir it with the tool. This will be a bit messy, but the container will hold it all in.
- Add 2-4 (and not any more) drops of oil onto the clay in the container. This will make the frosting more creamy.
- Keep stirring and adding more glue.
- Use the tool to apply the frosting onto the cupcake. This is a bit hard; if it keeps slipping off use your hands. It feels like real frosting :) !
- Shape the white clay into 6 little teardrops.
- Connect them into a flower shape.
- Mold the black clay into a circle, with the thickness the same as the petals'.
- Place it on the petals.
- Place the flowers on top of the flower.
Wah-la! You're done!
Stay tuned for more clay creations!
love your cupcake
