The Donut recipe
The dough color is made by mixing 1 part of white, half of translucent
and ¼ part of yellow as shown in the pic below.
The result is this buttery color (the real thing has a soft translucent
yellow color because of the butter you use when cooking).
Let it cool a while so it’s not sticky to work
with it.
Cut a small piece of a the size of a pea and do a
rounded shape
Flatten the ball
Punch a hole using
the dotting tool or the back of a small brush.
Flatten the edges a little bit using the dotting tool
to the inner part of the donut, but gently!
Donuts haven’t got perfect rounded shapes; this is the
1st step to texture it.
With the toothbrush and tin foil ball add texture to
your donut, and soften it with the dotting tool or the back of your brush.
Using the side of the needle or razor blade, do a mark
in the middle of the donut like the pic here; be careful to not cut too much!
Press gently.
The shading process:
This picture shows you the step by step to make your
donut look like just baked.
From top to bottom:
1- ochre for the base
2- more reddish brown for the middle tones
3- sepia brown or any dark brown you have to add the
“more burnt” areas.
Use a pic for reference when you shade, it helps a
lot.
The Frosting
process:
Into a glass* container mix a small piece of pink clay
and liquid fimo. Leave it for a couple of minutes so as to make the mixing easier
(it may take a while!). Stir and mix until you have a creamy consistence.
*(I’m using a plastic one but I recommend that you use
a small glass container since the plastics compounds of the clay may “eat” the
plastic one)
Use a toothpick to add the frosting carefully. When
you’re done, take the donut to the oven for 5 min, later, let it cool. Add some
glossy varnish to the frosting. And now, enjoy a freshly baked clay donut!
*If you want to turn it into a charm, put a small hook
on it before baking it.
The hot chocolate recipe
Get a piece of brown clay, mix it a bit and put it
into your ceramic cup to measure it. If it’s too large, just cut the excess
with the razor blade.
Using your dotting tool/back of a brush, add some texture
to it and again, check if it’s the right amount into the cup, trim the excess
if needed.
Take a small piece of white clay make a cone shape.
Using your dotting tool, and always in the same
direction do the texture of the cream like when it comes out from the star
shape frosting tip.
Carefully
add more detail, not much or it’s going to break.
Now put a small amount of liquid fimo to glue the
whipped cream to the chocolate and bake for 5 min.
When it cools down, take it out from the cup and add a
tiny amount of super glue to the bottom.
How
to put together the pieces:
Cut a small piece of balsa, paint it in a pastel color
of your choice, add the donut you baked before in a ceramic plate, cut a small
piece of tissue paper for the napkin, add the chocolate cup.
*The “chocolate dust”: shave s small amount on top of
the cream right after varnishing it so it stays in place.
Enjoy! Hope you like my tutorial.
