Week 9

Areas covered:-

1) Modelling
2) Painting
3) Starburst

The course is starting to get busy especially now we are designing our cakes for the final presentation.

Today we started off with painting using the models we made last week with the mexican paste.  We used 3 painting techniques: using colour and rejuvenator spirit, using colours, lustre dust and rejuvenator spirit and trying out some new metallic paints.  We painted some ducks and butterflies. I loved the metallic paints.

We then went on to modelling, making a teddy bears picnic. We had brought the iced board with us to add the scene. We used the square cutters to create the patchwork quilt and a size guide to make the teddy.

We also used glitter and metallic paint to decorate out bursts in preparation for the tiered cake.
