Mini Pizza Take Two (Slices)

Miniature polymer clay slices 

Okay, I think I'm back in the mini groove...whoot whoot. Some local hero suggested I make mini slices, and I LOVE the results. Again I was shocked by how long they took. I distributed labour by making a bunch of toppings first (night one), then on the second night I made the dough and sauce and topped the buggers.

Clay toppings and "sauce". On the bottom left we have the tomato sauce, bottom right the cheese. Above we have the peppers, olives, pepperonis and red onion.  

I changed a few things since my last post. I used an old pepperoni cane (its more red) I also changed up how I made the sauce. Now Im mixing red+brown clay in with the translucent liquid clay AND adding some red chalk dust. I left the sauce chunky, but blended the "cheese" well.

Green pepper cane. The cane is made up of a translucent+white inner, translucent + a tiny bit of green middle, and a green outer. After cutting a slice I cut out three holes in the middle, then shapes it into a pepper (cur out the middle and shaped the outside). 

Before and after toppings (pre baked)

After I bake the minis I glaze them. This time I used the Sculpey brand clay glaze and for the toasty cheese bits I used glaze + lots of light brown chalk dust.

Making Minis!

I have not made any minis in AGES! But, Elo and I are going to enter a craft fair in November, so I gotsta get back into it.

I decided to make a few pizzas. Wow minis take a long time. I worked on these for three evenings. Im... not super happy with how they turned out. Im loving the crust, but thats about it. I want to change the colour of the pepperonis, the cheese consistency and I need to blend the toasty cheese glaze more.

Mini pizza progress. 

I decided to make a few different sauces (tomato, cream, pesto) and... I dont think Ill make sauces to fill the bottom (see bottom left figure) in the future. Ill just dot sauce on top after I apply the "cheese". The "pesto" in particular changes the colour of the cheese. I even bake the dough+sauce before applying the toppings, but it still seemed to bleed color.

Miniature Pizza (Attempt #3)

Miniature pepper, olive and mushroom pizza

This is my third attempt at mini pizzas. I think next batch I'll do another tutorial. I have changed my methods quite a bit since my first tutorial and I have a lot of ideas on how to improve too.

I still need to work on making it look toasty. I also need to think about how veggies look once they have been baked. Ill make some new cakes for this .
