Continuing the baked goods theme (and coinciding with a multitude of family birthdays, including my own!), I focused on making mini cakes the last few days.

The basic process is as follows:

Each cake was made in a similar fashion, although on most of the cakes I chose to apply more “fluffy” icing (a mix of clay and translucent liquid) instead of the flat fondant look.

Baby Bear and Unicorn Sprinkles cakes.

Victoria Sponge and Lemon Curd cakes.

Birthday and Valentine’s Day cakes.

The cupcakes were made with a mold I mixed out of an epoxy. First I made a clay cupcake “prototype” and baked it. I then mixed the epoxy and quickly stuck the baked cupcake in the mold and allowed it to set. Once the baked prototype was removed, I used the mold to make identically sized cupcakes out of both chocolate and yellow clay. I painted the “liners” on each piece and then added the frosting to each cake.
