This is one of the things I had been doing lately. I ordered some tools abroad and I am still learning how to use them. One of them are a set of piping tips. TRANSLATION:if I get the frosting right, I will be able to create cupcakes/ frostings that "behaves" and "looks" like the real deal- much like what you are seeing on the picture above.
To make the frosting, I started by pouring some liquid clay on my container. I have already made frostings in different colours here.
This is what I use for my craft.....
Get a tool and mash the tiny bits of clay with the liquid clay.
Here is the icing tips I bought.
And this is how I "piped" the frosting. I find this very unreasonable, I am looking for more sustainable way of doing it.
