Micro Cupcakes

Hey peeps!

So its the holidays now and I recently created more cupcakes (that are even smaller than the previous ones, hence this title xD) 

These cupcakes are 3mm in diameter. 

Yes, I used the exact same props for these cupcakes too! Only difference is they fit on the miniature baking tray :D

I made six of them this time, and the flavours are: (from top left) Vanilla Buttercream, Peppermint, Chocolate Mistletoe, Espresso, Strawberry and Chocolate Chocolate. 

Comparison with the previous batch of cupcakes 

Side by side with the previous batch (: 

I really wanted to clay more, but even though its the holidays (3 weeks) there are still FYP/projects/datasheets/pre-labs to complete so I get tired easily ): 

Not to mention outings/meet ups/work/teaching...

On another note, I also tried to make these cupcakes in line with the Christmas theme but damn, I'm so out of inspiration that I've only managed these pathetic attempts at making it seem Christmas-sy. HAHA #plsdontjudgeme

Hope you like them! <3 Mel

Mini Cupcakes!

Sorry for the lack of updates! Have been lacking inspiration for clay. :/ 

Made some tiny cupcakes yesterday night though :D 

Each cupcake measures 7mm at its widest. 

Pardon me for the lack of creative toppings. It was 2am when I churned out these babies. -.-''

They all fit on a 10 cent coin! 

Will attempt even smaller cupcakes next time! 

A little destress...

It's been awhile since I last clay-ed, and here I am back with a few more pieces! (:

Actually the last time I clay-ed I accidentally burned my works *cries a river*

So here I present to you my perfectly baked pieces! As usual I didn't have much inspiration, just made whatever came to mind! 

The first piece I made was this teddy bear cookie dipped in chocolate. I saw something similar from this clay book my friends got for me for my birthday but I modified it a little. As usual, 10c coin pictured together for scale.  

FAQ: Polymer clay for beginners

Hey there! I used to get asked alot on polymer clay, like what tools to get, where I get them etc. Hence, I've decided to type out this post to help out fellow crafters who are interested in polymer clay!

First off, I don't remember when I started out polymer clay, but I do remember how I came into contact with it. I wanted to make something for my friend's birthday, so I thought, 'hey, why not make something out of clay?' And so my journey with polymer clay started from there. I did plenty of research on polymer clay, Youtube and google have been very helpful ^^ . I strongly urge you to research if you're interested in this hobby! It gets slightly annoying if people keep asking questions without first doing their own research.

Alright, so let's start with the serious stuff! 

1) How do you bake your clay? 

Polymer clay requires baking to harden, as it is unlike air dry clay which, as its name suggests, air dry. I bought my second hand toaster oven at a shop called 'cash converters'.
