My Polymer Clay Collection Part 2

The subject of this post lies in this box.

It may look like an ordinary box, but think not. Inside, there is a treasure. Namely...

Cupcakes. Lots and lots of polymer clay cupcakes. Some are my creation, some are based off pictures from online, and others are from tutorials. Again, I will do my best to mention which of the three the picture is of, but I may not be able to.

Anyways, the treasure in here will take a long time to explore, and will most probably leave you a bit hungry for some real cupcakes. However, in my opinion, it is worth it. You have been warned.

Flavor: Chocolate cupcake with vanilla frosting and chocolate chips. I think this was based off an Oreo cupcake I saw online.

Flavor: Lemon cupcake with vanilla icing and lemon zest. This may have been from a tutorial, but I'm not sure.

Flavor: Vanilla cupcake with vanilla frosting and rainbow sprinkles.

Flavor: Vanilla cupcake with vanilla buttercream and a candy rose.

Flavor: Red velvet with candy heart sprinkles.

Flavor: No clue. Probably mint with a tennis trophy and racket.

Flavor: Chocolate with purple icing and a candy flower. Instructions are in the Arts and Crafts section on this blog.

Flavor: A chocolate cupcake with vanilla frosting and a candy butterfly.

Flavors: Raspberry and strawberry for the lady on the left, and chocolate for the man on the right. Both have vanilla frosting. I made this from images online. Aren't they adorable?

Flavor: Red velvet cupcake with icing, and a cherry on top.

Flavor: Cookies and cream cupcake. Yum.

Flavor: Watermelon cupcake. This was from a tutorial online.

This caramel cupcake is inspired off a cupcake I read about in a book.

This one is my own design, with a chocolate base and mint frosting and sprinkles. There's a candy star on top.

Another one of my designs, with a tie-dye frosting and chocolate topper heart on a plain yellow base.

I designed a Santa cupcake with a red base and beard. Doesn't it look cute?

Another Christmas cupcake, gingerbread flavored with a fondant gift and tiny candy cane.

Here's a breakfast cupcake I made.

Flavor: Chocolate cupcake with pink icing and a mint leaf candy. I designed this one myself, too :).

This, my friends, is my treasure. If you'd like to see Part 1 of my collection, click here.

A Food Week

My family has been doing a lot of baking recently, and I've been making lots of cakes and cupcakes for the past three weeks, all out of the mix. On Saturday, we made cinnamon rolls out of the package, but on Sunday morning, my sister started making butter cookies from a recipe in a book. I decided to join her by making some berry tarts.

I wasn't really sure how everything was going to turn out, because we never bake from scratch. Ever. However, the butter cookies were delicious!

I can't even believe how they turned out!

These were my blueberry-raspberry-blackberry tarts. They tasted awesome :).

My sister and I made a cake yesterday, too, from a mix, which turned out nicely as well.

Doesn't it look Christmas-y? I just need red sprinkles and green frosting. I want to try making a chocolate cake from scratch and see how that turns out, too!

I also assembled quesadillas at a friend's house (using a stove and everything, and they weren't even burnt!), and cooked some sandwiches. I think I'm definitely starting to branch out a bit more, no matter how basic the recipes are.

Are you a master chef in the kitchen? Or do you like to use easy recipes to cook? Tell me below!

My Polymer Clay Collection (Part 1)

Y'all know by now that I make charms, etc. out of polymer clay. Today, I thought it would be fun to browse around my collection a bit, so I've included photos of nearly all my polymer clay charms in a two-part series. I will be posting the other half of my collection later on.

Some of these are from tutorials, others are from google images I found online, and others are my own designs. I'm not going to post all of the links to tutorials and images because that would be a lot of links, and I don't remember all of the ones I used. I will try to state which sources the charms are based off of.

Let's jump right in!

From left to right: A blueberry, a strawberry that didn't turn out very well, a banana slice, and an orange slice. The last three fruit were made with the help of  various tutorials on how to do fruit canes.

More fruit.

These are my own creations of little MDBC book covers. 

A sparkly birthday cake.

Hot chocolate with marshmallows, fudge sauce, and caramel sauce. Yum! 

A burger with lettuce and tomatoes. The hole at the top was for an eyepin, but I took it out and used it for another project.

This pig was an idea from the Klutz Clay Charms kit, with a pig flying (as in the idiom). 

This candle was from a series of tutorials for 30-ish days until Christmas. Isn't the candle so cute? 

Yum, cannoli and pancakes for breakfast! The plate isn't polymer clay, it's from a teaset that we had. I saw the cannoli off a few images online. I doubt I used a tutorial for any of the items on this plate (not even the fruit).

A caramel apple, perfect for Halloween.

There's Harry Potter, fighting Lord Voldemort, who has currently lost an eyebrow. Oopsies. 

Two snowmen.

This is a fresh spring roll made from rice wrap that hasn't been fried. 

These are steamed dumplings.

A cinnamon roll.

Would you like s'more s'mores?

Actually, the bottom of this has a bit of the graham cracker missing. I think it cracked off too easily. I need to repair lots of these charms, and do something about the eyepin holes!

A macaron.  

Red velvet cookie with sprinkles.

A hot dog.

Here are some ice skates I made.

Anyone want their fortune told?

Here's Mickey and the gang, inspired off of Tsum Tsums. 

An elegant cake with a strawberry. Simple, but classic.

These are some of my first turtles. I have a link to the tutorial in the Arts and Crafts section on this blog from a previous post.

Here is my dragon! I also have the link to her tutorial I found in the Arts and Crafts section.

Orange is the new black for this tiger. For his link, just like the others', you can look in the Arts and Crafts section.

Which polymer clay figure is your favorite? Also, if you cannot find the link to any of these and you'd like me to provide it, then just comment below! I can also look into any requests anyone has for charms.
