Mrs. Plum's Pumpkin Roll

For this Recipe you will need a brown and white clay, the size of a largish marble, and very small amounts of green and red.

 

Step One: Roll the balls flat and oval. Place the brown on top of the white. trim the edges fairly squarish.

 
Step two: Roll up jelly roll fashion. Trim ends off flat.

 
Step Three: To make the leaves, roll a bit of green the size of a small pea into a ball. Use your thumb and finger to pinch the leaf shape.

 
Step Four: Make three, and stick onto the top of the log. Use a toothpick to make lines in the leaves.

 

Step Five: Roll tiny amounts of red clay to make the berries. add to the top of the log as shown.

Bake the clay according to the directions on your clay package. when finished, allow to cool, and then cover with a light coating of varnish.

 

 

 

 


Left to right: Hershey's Kiss Drops, Peanut Butter Criss/Cross, and Chocolate Chip
Mrs. Plum's Cookies

You will need some light, medium, and dark brown clay for the cookies, plus a black Sharpie pen for the 'chips'.

Step One: For all three cookies, roll the clay into a long tube, and then cut into even pieces about the size of a small pea. Experiment to see how big you want your cookies to be when finished.

Use the Medium Brown (shown) for the Hershey's Kiss Drops, and the Light Brown for the other two kinds.

Step Two: For the Peanut Butter cookies and the Chocolate Chip cookies, flatten the pieces in your fingers. You will need to roll the edges slightly to make them nice and round.

For the PB cookies, just use the toothpick to make a criss/cross. Leave the Choco. chip cookies plain. Once these are cooked, you will use a Sharpie pen to make the 'chips'.

 

 
Step Three: for the Kiss cookies, first take a very small amount of dark brown. Roll it into a ball, and then pinch the end to a point.

 

 
 

 

 

 

Step Four: Make the cookie shapes just like when you made the other cookies. Use the toothpick to make a shallow indent in the center of the cookie. Add the Kiss.

 

Bake the clay according to the directions on your clay package. when finished, allow to cool, and then cover with a light coating of varnish.

 

 

 


Mrs. Plum's Double-Chocolate Cupcakes

For the Cupcakes you will need dark brown, white, and red.

 

Step One: Roll a tube of the dark brown clay, and cut it into pieces the size of two peas. Using either your fingers or a dowel, start shaping the bottom of the cupcake.
Step Two: Then using your thumb and finger, flatten the shape down some. Smooth the top down around the edges, so it gets a cup-cake shape.

 

 

 

 
I like mine to have a flatter fat top shape, but you can make your cupcake any size you need.

 

 
Step Three: Roll a small piece of the white very thin, and carefully twist it onto the top of the cupcake.

 

 

Step Four: roll a small piece of the red into a ball, and stick it onto the top of the cupcake.

Bake the clay according to the directions on your clay package. when finished, allow to cool, and then cover with a light coating of varnish.
