Here's how I do my Sweets Deco Whipped Cream

Have you found the perfect formula to whipped cream?

No fuss, No expensive stuff, But yes to texture and quality?

Here's a sharing on how I do mine :)

Not the best, but I think it works fairly well for me :D

First up: Ingredients:

$2 Daiso Clay : I'm LOVING IT REALLY. Gives your final whipped cream the whipped cream look ^_^

The $7 shit I bought. I need to give it a new name. How about Gesso?

Haha you don't need a lot per batch, so it can last me some time :)

This is the special ingredient which will give your whipped cream the steadiness which will help it in sticking to your deco piece super hard-ly :D

It's basically canvas base, so its super hard. It's something like high quality acrylic so I think if you don't have this you can get acrylic, but of course if you go art friend u can always get this. Its $7 for a huge tub so I think its worth it! (Probably the most ex part of this recipe!)

It's slightly different from acrylic, yet around the same :)

The inside~ 

Glue! Acrylic is really strong and once I mixed it with flour and the two just mixed their strongness and it cracked. This time I replace flour with daiso clay and added in some glue to hold them together.

Common Sense BABY!

Haha, basically desperado to use acrylic and refusal to give up on it so I devised this recipe and surprisingly it worked out :D

So you mix mix mix.

mix mix mix.

mix mix mix.

its gonna take some time...

mix mix mix.

mix mix mix.

TA DA!!!

I don't know if you can see it, but I HEART THE TEXTURE >< If you see it in the starbucks photo, it has this imperfect look about this which really gives me the whipped cream feeling ^_^

Okay so if you ask me what amounts? Again I can't tell you. I don't go use cups and measure.

I first throw in whichever amount of daiso clay I want. 

Add a bit of acrylic, add a bit of glue.

What you want to know is:

Too Much Acrylic: MIght Crack! Haven't happened to me but the flour+acrylic thingy just serves as warning lol.

Too much glue: The details won't hold. Happened to me the last time I did this >< But if you don't put this, the clay won't hold and it will just be a musy mess.

So yeap, go easy on the amounts and once u reach a pipable but holdable texture, you've got it ;)

Last but not least, to clarify:

3) The glue I use is white glue so don't freak out if u don't look like you have the same bottle.

2) The Acrylic I use is called Gesso, or canvas base but you might want to try other forms of acrylic.

3) I use daiso clay, but you can probably substitute with any soft clay (not resin clay cause it won't be whipped creamy!)

Tell me if you tried this recipe! I hope it works out for you :)

Will be using this for future deco because it can be glazed and might try out arista soft (it is quite affordable and it has been stocked in tinkleart) but meanwhile I am gonna snatch a few more boxes of daiso clay :)

Mini Starbucks!

Enjoy!

Just tons of photos :)

Polymer Clay Whipped and Pipable Cream tips and tutorial

Okay, i know this is not some big secret in polymer clay, but I found myself struggling big time with this because all they tell me (on websites and youtube) is make it and pipe it. 

Nothing else. So I had to like keep experimenting and wasting clay ><

And as you can see in the title, its PIPABLE cream.

Most tutorials tell me to use a tooth pick and put on a puff or pipe onto a puff A.K.A those ugly, no shape, meant to put fruits to cover ones.

The ones I'm talking about in this post is this:

Its those kind u pipe through a small teensie weensie cupcake that is less than 1cm in diameter :)

Super duper useful to pipe on cupcakes, frosted cookies and so on.

Not so sure about piping the shells and all those, but I'll try that out (again no help given from internet) and update XD

First up - Mixing the cream

this one should be known by now. Don't be lazy or cheap, use liquid fimo and mix with clay!

For me I use liquid fimo + fimo soft so I can use water to make the clay soft before adding fimo (works faster!)

And don't expect me to tell you the ratio, work it out yourself!

For me I make one batch, try it out. The batch is white and I keep in a container and whenever I need to pipe stuff, I mix the colours with pastels like this before using :)

Don't expect your whipped cream to be like those orange orange cause the base of it is white. If you want orange orange, u got to make a batch of orange clay + liquid fimo or else no matter how much orange pastels you add, all you gon get is a whitish pastel orange :) 

But for cookies you usually use pastel colours? So I don't bother since it involves liquid fimo which is not cheap btw.

Next on - Preparing the piping bag.

Might sound easy, but hey I struggled with this part too so maybe u might ^_^

Sandwich Bag, or which I call ziplocked bag. Cut out a as shown in photo.

HAHA. this is the part. I used to stupid use a scissor to cut the tip, resulting in big ass tip :( Use a needle for better effect, and if you are using a toothpick, dont poke throughout and just end at where I ended (or u end up with a big hole still -.-). 

This can then ensure the hole you are piping through is neat and consistent!

Fill the bag~

Test this out. looks goooood.

HAHA another photo :)

So I hope you learnt more on how to pipe using liquid polymer clay. its simple but if i had found this on the internet I would be uber happy :D

the main tips I have is:

1) Poke the hole before putting in the cream (from the inside using a tooth pick), it won't hurt :)

2) Use small piping bags, this makes it easier to manipulate and lesser risk of popping piping bag and have all the cream gush out :(

3) Keep practising!

4) Make a white batch and mix colours of individual projects. Minimizes wastage :D

5) Use disposable piping bags. Helps in clean up!

Okay, thats all. Have fun piping, I'll be, cause now I'll addicted to piping stuff.

Cookies anybody?

BACK!!!!

YAOOOOOO!

Sorry for leaving you guys nothing to read (which ever few followers I have teehee).

Exams are over, and I've reignited my love for Clay Art (I did'nt have much motivation last time :( )

ANYWAYS.

I'm now working on some presents for my friends (that explains the motivation) and here's something I made :)

HAPPY CUPCAKES!

Under no-flash.

Love the cream colours :)

Made after real life ones I made so it adds to the meaning :)

I also tried out a new way to make cupcakes so after modification I guess I'll make a tutorial ^_^

Other than these cupcakes I was ready for the next search for DECO DEN WHIPPED CREAM!

I've had numerous failures, spending $7 on worthless shit, using silicon which is great but gives me respiratory difficulties and of course refusal to buy whipped cream sold at $16 up per tube.

I first went on to youtube and found a tutoral which asked me to use acrylic (THE SHIT I BOUGHT THINKING IT WAS TEXTURE PASTE!!!) and flour. So I mixed the two in glee, happy that I could turn the shit into something useful :D

Verdict? Held the texture, very sturdy, very hard. HOWEVER, it cracked and made me uber sad. It was really good, and the only problem was that it cracked :(

Second try! I was like really despo, so I just took some daiso clay, mixed it with glue AND added some Acrylic (HAHA i just had to use the "shit") 

Tested it out~

Did'nt hold textures that well, but passable. And maybe I added too much white glue :X

looks like this~

Overall I have to say it held in the watermelon slice, and stuck well to the iphone cover, so I think I'll just again modify it and use it as my deco den whipped cream! YAY!!!

YEAP, pretty much my largest achievement ><

Lastly, my second largest achievement would be to finally pipe sensibly!

Haha yes yes yes I piped those Happy Cupcakes with liquid polymer clay and I think I've finally found the texture and tricks lol.

Again I'll have to modify it and get back to you guys.

I surfed the net for crazily long and nothing came up with a good recipe for Whipped Cream, Polymer Clay PIPABLE Cream :(
