I decided to make mini whipped cream dollops for my miniatures. I just squeezed some into a pastry bag with a icing tip and just like regular frosting made some whipped cream dollops. It feels like really thick frosting the appearance is just like frosting which helps it to look realistic.

It hardens externally in like 30 minutes to an hour and fully dry inside in a few days depending on how thick you make it.

When it was dry I was very excited because at first touch it seemed very hard. Sadly though even with slight pressure on the tips of the whipped cream dollops, the tips broke off.

However the upside to this material is that its good for making frosting that your lathering on instead of more detailed shapes that are thin like the tips of whipped cream dollops.

When ur frosting ur minis like cupcakes or cookies it can crack though so it resembles more of a royal icing type of frosting. It does look realistic but if you are one of the ones that likes their mini’s to be flawless I wouldnt recommend this.

It mixes with acrylic paint beautifully and easily. The basic line of liquitex is suppose to be the more economy brand rather than a pro brand they also carry. I may try other more expensive brands to see if they dry to a harder finish.

So my final conclusion is I wouldnt use this brand to make whipped cream dollops. I will use to frost some cookies, cakes, cupcakes or even to make fake snow on displays.

All you need is some caulk and some oil paint. So lets get started.

Step 1: Put your caulk in a plastic baggie to mix, Im only making a sample batch so you can put yours directly into a piping bag or squeeze bottle. When mixing the caulk you want to minimize the exposure of the caulk to air so it doesnt cure and allows you enough time to blend it and make your creations. Which is why I use a zip lock mini baggie and squeeze out the air, it gives me more working time.

Step 2: Put in a drop of your oil paint, you should start with a little drop of oil paint depending on the color you’re trying to accomplish. Then add more as needed to achieve your color.

Step 3: Then just squeeze the bag to mix the caulk with the oil paint, until its fully blended. I added too much red paint so it didnt turn into a light pink but a darker one. Its always better to start with a little bit of paint then too much.

Here is the final product, your very own colored caulk to make your fake whipped cream creations.

P.S Oil paint can get very expensive especially since it doesnt usually come in small tubes and to make miniatures it doesnt take alot. What you can do is buy oil paint kits like Craft House oil paint by numbers kits. They can cost from $15 to $25 and will give you a ton of colors. So much better than spending alot on big tubes of oil paint. Hope this tip helps.

Tulip Gellies come in all assorted colors. I like to buy the clear one because I have so many paints at home I just add in whatever color I want and I can make any color gel. The clear tulip gellie is opaque at first but dries clear. You can add in any paint to change the color, if you want a more translucent appearance just add in like one drop.

This is how Clear Tulip Gellie looks

This is how Tulip Gellie looks mixed in with a few drops of paint, I added way too many drops so it wont be translucent anymore.

This is how Tulip Gellie looks totally mixed up

It takes about 24 – 48 hours to dry depending on the thickness level you use. When dry this has a raised thick look. It does not dry flat like paint, so its great when you want a slight raised effect on your crafts.

Now you have your own jelly consistency Deco sauce. You can use this on just about any surface and its super cheap to make. Try it with brown to make fake hot fudge sauce, or red for strawberry/ raspberry jelly, caramel, you can make so many different types of fake gelatins or even puddings. This is a really fun item.

Here is how Tulip Gellie looks when dried VS. when paint is dried. I wanted you to see that the Tulip Gellie has that thick creamy consistency and paint just dries flat.

Here is some Tulip Gellie on some of my whipped cream dollops

and I covered a Snow-Tex topped clay charm with the Tulip Gellie I made

I initially thought I put too much paint and it wouldnt be translucent when dried but it came out really well. It was slightly translucent and you could see the colors underneath a bit. In real life it looks much better than the pictures captured the texture.

I hope you give it a try and that this tutorial was helpful. Happy Crafting

Here is a close up look of Snow-Tex, mine is a bit older so it dried out a bit , if you buys yours new it will be much fluffier and smoother.

All you have to do is scoop some up and put it on your creation and let dry. It dries in about 24-48 hours depending on how thick you layer it on.

Here is what I came up with, simple, effective and cheap. You could also pipe this like whipped cream.

I hope this review is helpful to you. Happy crafting
