WHEW. I said I'd put a tutorial up and I figured I'd start with one of the basics: icing!
This is a super easy technique to use to create realistic icing for all of your miniature polymer clay treats. I didn't mention this in the tutorial, but this icing will not dry out if you leave it sitting around. It hardens only when you bake it, though if you add food coloring I would suggest you put a layer of shrink wrap over the top or use a sealable container, since in my experience it does weird things to the color if you expose it to too much air.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask! Or if you'd like to see more tutorials, I'd be happy to help you out.

Could you use the glass glaze instead? Just asking because I need to make a red velvet cake for my cousin's birthday, but the local Micheal's just ran out of the translucent clay
So, let's say I mixed the gloss glaze with polymer clay like in the rice crispy treat tutorial to attempt making it look like icing, how would that then out? I'm sorry for asking too many questions I'm just worried
You shouldn't treat gloss glaze like it's clay, it's meant to only go on a finished, already baked item. Certain glazes are actually flammable as well so it's a baaaad idea to get into the habit of putting glaze on unbaked clay. And in the rice krispie tutorial, I use translucent liquid sculpey the whole time, except at the end where it's fully baked. Only then did I glaze it. O:
So this stuff can be stored, right? Like..you could get little apothecary jars to keep it in or something (especially if you're not using food coloring)
