soda

•
Continue to stir until the
mixture thickens
Once thick remove from
the heat and transfer to
clean, corn-floured
surface

and then knead it. Do
this quickly, if you dally
here the mixture will
become too brittle
Method

You can now roll out
the dough to be cut.
You need to aim for a
smooth, shiny finish.
Because the dough can
become brittle quickly
you may not be able to
re-roll it. Plan carefully
how to cut your
shapes.
Method
•
The items are dried
rather than baked and
the oven temperature is
very low. This means
you can safely use
jewels, sequins, mirrors,
beads, rubber stamps or
letter punches to
decorate them.
As the items are fragile, decorate
them on the baking tray. This means
you won’t have to transfer them
when adorned and heavy.

Don’t forget to make
hanging holes. Drinking
straws are a perfect size
Bake finished creations
on a baking sheet lined
with parchment paper.
They take about 2-hours
at 75C. You can turn
them half-way (or not!)
Leave to cool in the
oven.
Method
•
Once completely dry
you can paint and/or
varnish them and
finish with brightly
coloured ribbon. These
ones were stamped
before they were
baked.
