Plasticine sweets
Making sweets from plasticine is quite a pleasant experience even for adults, but sometimes you also need to be able to tell how to make lollipop for children. Having gained experience, lovers of this art will be able to figure out how to mold a cake with their own hands. Of course, they may also be interested in sculpting other figures.
How to make lollipop?
First you need to decide on the desired shape of the candy. The easiest way is to refuse to imitate animal figures, and to mold a ball. But to make the craft look more original, you need to vary its size and colors. Often 2 contrasting colors are combined in one product. The sequence is as follows:
- stretch the white and colored mass to the state of a thin thread;
- twist them together in the manner of pigtails;
- form a two-color spiral.
But you can make it even easier: wrap the spiral without creating pigtails first, but simply laying out the threads side by side. The result will look something like this.
It remains only to add sticks to the plasticine lollipops. They are imitated with matches or toothpicks. The photo shows several of these options.
Cake modeling
Not every plasticine is suitable for such a task. It is better to give preference to pieces of medium density. Soft, easily spreading in the hands, as well as too hard bars are completely uncomfortable. For additional decoration of the future cake, prepare:
- buttons;
- sequins;
- buttons.
The base of the plasticine cake can have any color of your choice. White and delicate pink tones imitate cream, and the fruity display can be reproduced with the help of bright and juicy plasticine. Let's say it's decided to make a cream cake. To do this, flatten the white ball to the state of a cylinder, whose width will be greater than its height.If necessary, show the layered confection by preparing pieces of an additional shade.
Roll all the portions of plasticine in the manner of a cake, carefully making sure that they are all the same size. Make a pyramid of these cakes, alternating them in color in the same way as the pastry chefs do. If necessary, align the outer edges of the cylinders by rolling them on boards. Form ribbons and thin "sausages" from plasticine;
Weave sausages like braids, and make spiral roses from ribbons. Make a frame out of the pigtail, and set the rose in the middle. Place the cake on the stand. Supplement it with candles swirling from multi-colored stripes, on top of which an orange light is installed.
What else can you dazzle?
Of course, the modeling of sweets from plasticine for children is not limited to candies and cakes. Fake brownies can be fun too. For their manufacture, plasticine of bright juicy colors is used. Pinch off small pieces with your hands and roll into balls. They can look something like this (this is just an illustration of the shape - choose the colors to your liking). Later:
- press the balls down so that something looks like large tablets;
- roll them on the board, leveling very carefully;
- form cylinders of 3 layers - the main part of future cakes;
- prepare leaves or petals;
- make flowers of them on the surface;
- prepare the second layer of flowers;
- complement them with rhinestones and balls.
But you can also make an ice cream figure with your own hands, and this is also not too difficult. Sequence of steps:
- shaping a pink bar and a brown pancake;
- enveloping the pink filling with a brown outer layer;
- insert sticks (you can take a stick from real ice cream for persuasiveness);
- reproduction of nut dressing using pieces of yellow plasticine.
