Breads (Croissant, Baguette, Boule)

24, 27 and 28 September 2012

Breads (Croissant, Baguette, Boule)

The first bread that I made was on July 2012. I darken the colour of the bread as I feel that the colour for those previous breads was too light. I didn’t varnish these breads except for the croissant. Overall, I feel that they are better than the previous time.

Strawberry Shortcake and Strawberry Cake

20 September 2012

Strawberry Shortcake

I reworked on the strawberry shortcake. Size for the cake is W0.5cm x L1cm x H1.2cm.

Strawberry Cake

I tried another design for strawberry cake. I had difficulties in making the strawberry, it was too small for me to work on the details. From the photo, it looks like raspberry. I need to find a way to make it looks like strawberry. Size for the cake is W0.4cm x L0.8cm x H1cm.

Red Velvet Cake

Red Velvet Cake

The most challenge part was to maintain the white clay dust-free. I had to pick up the dust one by one and dust it with lots of flour in order to maintain the white. I also had difficulties making the roses, they were not perfect yet. Hopefully I can do a better job on the next try. Diameter for the round cake is 2cm.

Cupcakes

13-14 September 2012

Cupcakes

The cupcake base that I made was hand-sculpt, I have not do any mold for it yet. The cupcakes with kiwi and orange topping were not very successful. The base was too tight and the overall proportion was not correct. 

As for the Halloween cupcake, I know it was not nicely done because I did it as a trial piece. If I have time, I will do a collection for Halloween goodies. 

On the second day, I did strawberry cupcakes. For this attempt, I refined the cupcake base and reduced the height of it. The diameter for the strawberry cupcake is 1cm.

 

Pancake

Pancake

I always wanted to remake the pancake. The previous pancake that I made was on 19 July 2012, the month when I just started clay making. On the 1^st attempt, I had feedback regarding the over-varnish and too thick pancake so for this round I tried to be careful with the details.
