I used to make clay foods when I was young for my childhood dollhouse, but that was limited to mostly hamburgers. :D Since rediscovering minis as an adult, I’ve seen so many talented food artisans online and at the mini shows.
I recently bought some suitable colors of clay and started experimenting.
Here is the first batch of cookies using Fimo clay in the color sahara. I started with bats and cats since making festive cookies was part of the to-do list for my Halloween display that I didn’t have time to finish before the holiday.
I used chalk pastels to give them some golden color. After baking, they really do look like plump, warm-from-the-oven cookies! :D
I used clay mixed with the Translucent Liquid Sculpey as well as oil paint mixed with the Translucent Liquid Sculpey to make icing for the cookies. The oil paint was certainly easier to mix and work with, so I will pick up a starter set of colors next time I head to the store.
Here’s a plate of skulls with white frosting. I don’t know why, but these are my favorite. :D
The pumpkin cookies are rather fun, too.
The leaf cookies could be used for the general autumn season or for a Thanksgiving setting.
I left some of the leaves bare and decided to try a different method, coating them in three shades of glitter to mimic sugar cookies.
The frosted Christmas trees have added micro beads in gold and silver.
I spent all day on these lovelies and certainly had fun, but after all that work…there aren’t any cookies I can actually eat!!!! :O
