Chocolate with Almond

23 August 2012

Chocolate with Almond

I made these chocolates in a bigger size, about 1cm. The colour of the chocolate was too light, I will need to darken the colour for the next round. 

I forgot to mention, I had opened a DeviantArt account, the link is monpuchikissa.deviantart.com

Chocolate Chip Cookies and Biscuit with Whipped Cream and Strawberry

22 August 2012

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Per cookie is about 0.8cm.

Biscuit with Whipped Cream and Strawberry

Per biscuit is about 0.8cm. I tried another method for these whipped cream, instead of using piping, I used needle tool to shape the clay.

Sandwich

19 and 21 August 2012

Sandwich

The 1^st attempt sandwich that I made was not defined. The ham and tomato slice were too thick. I tried to make another one on the next day, it turned out fine but my friend can’t tell there was an egg with yolk flowing down, she thought it was mustard. So I think next time instead of putting the egg between the sandwich, I will put it on top of the bread.

 

Strawberry Tartlet and Strawberry Cane

17 August 2012

Strawberry Tartlet

These strawberry slices were from my 4^th attempt for strawberry cane. So far it was the best, but I need to add more translucent to it. The proportion was not right, I should make the strawberry smaller or the tart base bigger. The size of the tart base is 1cm.

6-17 August 2012

Strawberry Cane

These are the strawberry canes that I made over the past two weeks. 

1^st Attempt – I need to add more details to it.

2^nd Attempt – I needed to add more outer layer to it.

3^rd Attempt – Look like spider.

4^th Attempt – So far is the best, but I should add more translucent to it.

Cheesecake

16 August 2012

Cheesecake with strawberry and chocolate topping

Per cheesecake is 0.7cm width. I used the 3^rd attempt strawberry cane to make these cheesecake. The strawberry cane did not turned out well, it looked like spider TT.TT

Sushi

7-8 August 2012

Sushi (Salmon, Prawn and Tamago)

During the first attempt, I added too much translucent clay to the salmon and prawn, they turned out too translucent.

On the second attempt, I tried to reduce the translucent but now the prawn turned out too white and the colour was not right, too reddish. I think it was not my day, other than the outcome of my sushi work, I accidently spilled a huge amount of varnish on my working area. I had to quickly used some of the varnish from the mat before it dried up and not realizing that I over varnished my work. 

I also realized that the baked polymer marble clay plate turned yellowish after rebake. So that mean I can’t rebake any light colour clay, cos it is quite obvious. I have two options, it is either I bake non-baked plate together with the food or I had to glue the food on the baked plate. I need to experiment them before I decide which I prefer. 

I will need to work on it again, hopefully I can get better result next round. 

Fondant Au Chocolat

6 August 2012

Fondant Au Chocolat

Other names for fondant au chocolat are chocolate fondant pudding, chocolate moelleux and chocolate lava cake.

The end product is over crowded with too much deco. I will need to minimize them next round.

Fruit Tartlets

3 August 2012

Fruit Tartlets

Finally I bought an oven thermometer after my friend’s canes that I baked failed. I think it was due to my oven temperature because we unable to slice the cane nicely. Though I bought the thermometer but I have not try to bake the cane before slicing. I will try it someday.

I made some fruit tartlets using the lemon and kiwi canes I got from my friend. The orange slice was made by me but it was not nicely done, I still need to practice more. 

Salmon Sashimi

1-2 August 2012

Salmon Sashimi

My friends did some plates and lemon cane for me. Though they are new with polymer clay making, but they did a very good job. I am glad to have them helping me out with what I am still weak at. We intent to sell some of our works so stay tune for more details.

To incorporate with the plate and cane I got, I made some salmon sashimi. At first, I over estimated the size, they were too big for the plate. I had to redo the salmon again. I was very happy with the end product.

Salmon Sashimi Earrings.

These are the plate and teapot set that I have made. They were badly done TT.TT

Lots of dishware and cutlery done by my friends ^^

Mont Blanc

31 July 2012

Mont Blanc (Chestnut Cream Pastry)

Mont Blanc is a dessert piles with sweetened chestnut puree on top of meringues. The name resembles a snow-capped mountain. 

I wanted to make this since I started making miniature from polymer clay. The most difficult part of making Mont Blanc was piping the chestnut puree. I tried to use clay gun, but it was very difficult to pipe out the puree from the clay gun, maybe because I did not add any liquid clay to it. I decided to use the piping tip instead.

Blueberry Tartlets

29-30 July 2012

Blueberry Tartlets

I did some blueberry tartlets. The first tartlet that I made was not successful. Very frustrated when doing the whipped cream, it was so messy and I did not managed to get the shape I wanted.  I am still very weak at it. 

On the same day, I did another bigger version. This time, I tried not to mix any liquid clay to my clay, it turned out fine. 

I continued to make more smaller version tartlets on the next day.
