Whipped cream

Hey all!

It's been quite a while since my last post and i didn't want to make this blog look really dead.

So today i'm gonna talk a bit about whip cream for deco den projects or for making miniatures.

There are a few types of way to make fake whip cream, so i'll share my knowledge of whip cream with you. ^^ 

Note: In this post i will write about ways to replace the ridiculously expensive fake whip cream out there in the stores.

1st way: Silicon 

This is pretty much the easiest way to make whip cream. You just have to extract the silicon from the tube, put it in a piping bag and attach an icing tip to the bag and ta-da! You have whip cream! I personally use this method the most, but i don't use silicon. Instead, i purchase this tube of acrylic sealant. It's said on the bottle that it's siliconised.(?) It dries hard unlike silicon, and also can be washed off easily with water. The only downside is that it is slightly grey in colour, but this problem can be overcomed with the help of some white acrylic paint. ^_~

For the whip cream to harden, just leave it out in the air for about 24 hours.

2nd way: Polymer clay + Liquid Clay 

I'm sure everyone who plays with clay know this method. It is really simple. All you have to do is add some polymer clay and liquid clay (eg Translucent Liquid Sculpey) and mix them together until it turns really creamy. 

This type of whip cream has to be baked in the oven for it to harden. I only use this method for making donuts and sometimes cupcake. Basically i only use this when making miniatures that need to be baked. 

3rd way: Air dry clay + white glue

I made a video on this sometime ago, and it is just mixing air dry clay with white school glue. You can use really cheap air dry clay and glue. Not exactly my favourite method as the texture(?) of the whip cream will not stay if the amount of glue/clay is not proportional. It takes patience and practice to perfect the whip cream. The good thing is this method is cheap and air dries.

Last way: Modelling Paste 

Personally, i haven't tried out this method yet but i read it on the net before that modelling paste can be used to replace silicon. Like silicon, you don't have to add anything to it; the method of making the whip cream is the same. I will update on this once I've tried this method.

Sorry about this long post, it's just about all the past research i have done about making fake whip cream. If you have found out about other ways to make whip cream, do comment below and share with everyone else. :D Hope this helped~
