Biz-Archive/food/Diner-Grp.htm The items on this page are the
earliest experiments with mini food, like
Mexican Food.

20-21-2006: Mini Food Demo, Some of the ClayMates have made "short orders" for
the mini food demo this next week end.
Just throwing my two cents in here....I wouldn't mind
seeing a turkey
with stuffing...pizza...tacos...baked potatoes with butter melting over the
opened potato heh and even the table settings, plates, silverware,
glasses...even some cooking pots and pans heh the list could go on
forever
Shawna
Pizza and Rice
and Everything nice
Pizza with Toppings
Screen shots of making pizza in demo.

Trick with pizza is to make the topping separate and
cure the bits. I dug out an old picture and put it on
a page for you...
Taco

Baked potato with butter:
Melted butter is yellow clay mixed with a LOT of TLS
and then drizzled over a baked potato. Baked potato is
a bulls eye cane with white on the middle and brown on
the outside, cut off a length and pinch the ends, cut
open and stipple with a knife edge add butter. There's
mini baked potatoes in this web section.

Silver clay straight out of the pack, circles and
rectangles, you got pots and pans.
This will be the start of our Menu for next week end's

I don't have a turkey but Toasty Top makes a good
glaze on one. We can make a turkey in demo.

Mona uploaded some pictures and here's my reply.
Mona:
Premo Burnt Umber looks just like chocolate, straight
out of the pack.
Petite Fours are layered clay, topped with TLS mixed
with a touch of color, chocolate curled, what is that
called when a thin layer of chocolate is laid down on
marble and then scraped up so it curls? Anyway the
technique is the same with polymer clay. Smear some
chocolate on a tile real thin and then scrape up with
a razor and add to the top of the Petite Fours.
Fondant is done with making the cake base with cured
clay. Then take a sheet of clay for the Fondant and
stretch it over the cured cake. The sheet of clay acts
just like the Fondant. It's really easy.
Then decorate the Fondant covered cake with what ever
pretty things you want. Draping Fondant is done with
pressing clay sheets thin and dusting the back side
and then adjusting the drapes as you want them. Attach
to the cake with a thin layer of TLS.
Premo Sienna looks like milk chocolate, straight out
of the pack. Decorating candies can be done with thin
snakes of clay or with TLS mixed with clay color.
I'm still working on making a mini frosting bag so we
could do flowers and leaves, garlands and other things
like the real Bakers do.

Debbie asked about translucent clay and TLS (Translucent
Liquid Sculpey) and what other uses are there for these things.
Here's some uses for translucent clay.
New_Projects/Review-JuicyMiniFood.htm
some of my favorites are...
http://www.norajean.com/Biz-Archive/food/Citrus/Citrus-Grp.htm
AKA Goofing around with translucent clay.
Biz-Archive/Sheets/OnBlack/Grp-Fruit
pressing citrus slices on black.
I use translucent where ever mini food calls for
water.
Check the link above for some examples.
Biz-Archive/food/TLSastries/Group-TLSastriesThms.htm
Translucent liquid sculpey mixed with clay for color
makes whipped cream, sauces, gravy and glaze for
donuts.
New_Projects/ThanksgivingLeftOvers/LemonadeReview/Index.htm
Solid Translucent mixed with clay color makes juice.
The pitcher is the juice, the juice is the pitcher,
it's zen that way.
Ice is made with translucent, pearl and glow in the
dark.
