Ok, so here is the deal. I decorated cakes for a couple years, and now I working in paper clay. It is totally food safe, completely non toxic. All of these pieces are made of paper clay and I think they would make cute cake toppers for special occasions. So, not only could you use them at weddings, but Christmas, Easter, birthdays, whatever! What do ya think?

You could so sell those to decorators for cakes, or to cake clients themselves for sure. icon_biggrin.gif

They're great....I love the Santa.

Can you tell me more about this paper clay...I've heard of some other product that they use in the UK and I'm wondering if it's similiar.
Is it light in weight?? I have a topper to make soon and I was going to make it from Polymer clay, but I'm afraid of the weight of it.
You can PM me if you like

Those are wonderful you are quite the artist.
I was wondering if moisture affects the paper clay though. What do you seal it with and what kind of paint do you use? Or do you use some kind of plastic base? Sorry so many questions.

You guys are all so kind!!!!! Thanks for all the compliments! Paper clay is awesome, I actually started with polymer clay, and I will never go back!!! Polymer clay has plastic in it, making it so it is not food safe. Also it is VERY heavy, where as Paper Clay is not, it is very light weight. As far as moisture is concerned only the base of the sculpture would touch the cake so, I would put some sort of paper barrier. Feel free to ask more questions!

Those are great!!! You are very talented.
I work with polymer (necklaces and ornaments and such) and I love it. Is the paper clay baked? Is it similar consistency to polymer?

Thanks

Just wanted to say you are very talented and I think any of the toppers you made would be exceedingly sellable. I especially like the pixie one.

Thanks again everybody! The only place Ive bben able to buy paper clay is at Michaels. It is easy to work with once you get the hang of it. It is an all natural product made of clay and paper, it is similar to paper mache. I have been doing craft shows and have been selling my stuff there but it SO much work. So maybe Ill check out some bakeries to see if they would be interested! Oh, you dont have to bake it, it air dries, but if you want to speed up the process you can throw it in the oven at a very low temp!
