Miniature Dim sum

Dim sum is one of my favourite dish, to make a miniature dim sum you need to have the container first , but it is difficult to get a miniature container, so somtimes you have to make it yourself. Here are some of my favourite dim sum.

If you cannot get a mini container than you can make one like the last picture shown. I have simplied the container.                                                                                                                                               

Dinosaur

Last week my nephew showed me a dinosaur, (he is 7yrs old and love dinosaurs so much) he asked me whether I can make a Triceratops (a type of dinosaur) I said, Ok I try ( I don"t like dinosaur). The next day I try to make one for him. I  had made one before using soft clay, this time I used paper clay, here it is... I didn't paint it because I want him to paint it himself.

                                                                    

                                                     The size of this dinosaur is about 3//4 of an index finger.

Making a clay cake

 1. Prepare different sizes of cakes

3. Make a round cake and let it dry in air. When the cake has dried up , colour the cake with poster colour, water colour or acrylic colour.

2. Prepare small items for decoration of the cake. eg, fruits, flowers, etc

 4.Decorate the surface of the cake. I used chocolate line to decorate the surface of the cake. You can design your own cake.

After finishing the surface of the cake , decorate with the prepare fruits, flowers, or others small items.

Clay

For beginners, I usually advice them to use paper clay as it is easier to handle and the price of paper clay is inexpensive compare to others. Paper clay is made from recycled paper pulp, binders and water. These clay dries hard when exposed to air.

There are many fun ideas for paper clay. Some ideas include making animals, dolls, magnets and miniature food. Here are some of my handcrafted items,using paper clay!
