Cupcakes for Mum
Cupcakes for Mum? or Mom? Well....if you are in US you'll say Mom. I use Mum because I live in Australia. How do you call your mother?
Anyway, I hope these miniature cupcakes will bring smiles to mothers who receive it as a gift on Mother's day.
Let's have fun making these cupcakes.
Tools & Materials:
- Air dry clay (cold porcelain clay or candy clay if you want to eat the cakes)
- Clay tools
- White PVC glue (or edible glue)
Steps to Make Cupcakes for Mum:
Step 1:
- I used light brown clay for my cake. You can use dark brown for chocolate flavor or kind of light yellow clay for vanilla cake flavor.
- Start rolling the clay to a basic ball shape and then make a teardrop shape to about 1 inch or 2.5 cm length.
- Cut the sharper end with clay knife.
- Make few lines around the cake.
Step 2:
- I used white, pink and yellow clay colors for frosting.
- Roll the clay to a ball shape and then press the middle part with clay ball tool or your index finger.
- Apply a little bit of glue to the top of the cake and paste the frosting.
- Leave it to air dry.
Step 3:
- I used purple and green clay color for the 2 "M" letters.
- Start with rolling the clay to a ball shape again and then flatten it with rolling pin.
- Cut the 4 side of the clay round shape. You can have a perfect rectangular or slightly tapered rectangular shape.
- Make a triangle shape cutting on top and the inverted triangle shape at the bottom.
- Smooth the side of the M letter and adjust the shape as you like.
Steps 4:
- I used orange clay color for "U" or some of you might want to have and "O".
- Roll the clay to a ball and then teardrop shape. For an "O", you can roll the clay to an ellipse instead of a teardrop shape.
- Poke the middle part of the clay with your clay tool, and make a hole that continuous to the side of the teardrop (or ellipse).
Step 5:
- Paste the letters to the cake frosting.
- Sprinkle the top of the cake with multicolored scrap clay.
Cupcakes for mum is done now.
