I am going to make some cupcake ornaments for some of my co-workers. See how we work in the bakery area... but I have seen directions for them basically just gluing the ornament to a cup cake liner and sprinkling some glitter on top.
But I think I am going to make some puffy paint to squeeze on top like we do when we ice the cupcakes....
Puffy paint:
1/4 cup of flour
1/4 cup of salt
1/4 cup water
paint or food coloring
Mix flour, salt and water together then add any colored paint or food coloring.
Use a thick paint brush to paint with it.
You can also pour your mixture into squeeze bottles or re-use old squeeze sauce bottles.
Use the paint as normal, but when it dries it will harden to a puffed up dimensional paint.
will this stay on a ornament? Guess I will find out.. depends on the type I guess...
Hummm also could use the sprinkles and then use my clear sealant. Will post pictures I promise!
Looking for Sustainability ideas
I thought I find a way to keep costs down while still trying to stay eco-friendly. Trying to keep striving for sustainability. This a record of that journey.
