Let it chill for fridge. adding the cake pop clay details. 3 hours or overnight.

Step 4&5:Thefacedetails The mouth & tongue Cut out the cake by using the templates. Keep the blade as vertical as possible. Starting with a small amount of ganache, place the cake layers alternately with filling till complete. First use the egg shape layers, then the rounded ones. After stacking chill the cake for about 2 hours in the fridge. Roll out a small amount of dark red fondant very thinly. Place it onto the mouth section, smooth it out and cut off the excess. You can spray some water very thinly over the ganache to make it stick. Cover the whole face and the neck with a small layer of skin tone modelling paste and cut out the section where the mouth will be. Knead the excess of red fondant and a small amount of white fondant together to form the tongue. To texture you can use plastic wrap over the fondant and texture with the dresden tool. Make small impressions and a deeper line in the middle of the tongue. Place it into the mouth. Make the teeth with white fondant and attach. Step 6:The eyes To make the eyeballs, roll flower paste into balls and let them dry completely (make these about 5 days in advance so they have time to dry). To gauge the size of the eyeballs, each one should be one fifth of the size of the full width of the head. Cut the balls in half and place each one in the hole for the eyes.

Cont step 6: The eyes To paint the iris, use vodka and gel colour and apply with a very thin brush. To get a realistic effect, look at reference photos or simply look in the mirror at your own eyes. Step 7: The eyelids and under-eye area Roll out modelling paste, cut out a circle and cut this in half. Place it onto the eyeball to create the under eyelid area. Blend it in. Do it the same way for the upper eyelid and the other eye. Step 8: Lips Place a small sausage of modelling paste to create the upper lip and blend it in. Don’t forget to texture the lip - texture is always most important! Step 9: Face Apply more modelling paste to the chin, cheeks and the lips. Remember that children’s faces are much fleshier than adults. Step 10: Nose Form the nose by creating a sausage with modelling paste. To create the nostrils and nose wing, stick in a pointed modelling tool and pull carefully outwards. Step 11: Ears For children, the ears should be placed level with the middle of the eyes and middle of the mouth (when looking at head from the side). Roll modelling paste into an egg shape, pull a hole in and form with ball tool using c-shape indentations. Step 12: Hair Cover the head with a hood of light brown fondant mixed with CMC. Add volume to the hair by shaping drop-shaped pieces of fondant. Texture them with the dresden tool, shape them into strands of hair and attach them with edible glue. To keep their position when drying, paper towel is very helpful. The hair gets a more realistic look if you marble some beige and dark brown into the light brown fondant. For this I used my paste colour which I thinned out with alcohol.

PAINT YOUR OWN COOKIE By Jacqui Jansen of Cookies by Qui COOKIES BY QUI

You will need: Tools Materials • Your favourite cookie recipe shapes, baked and cooled. • Your favourite batch of royal icing. • Amerimist Colours (I use Super Red, Lemon Yellow, Leaf Green, Sky Blue and Regal Purple). • Americolor Super Black gel. • Scribe Tool. • Piping Tips (I use tipless bags, but feel free to use tips if you’d prefer. I’d recommend a size 2 depending on the size of cookie used). • Airbrush (you can hand paint with a paint brush instead). • Small offset spatula for stencil scraping. • Paint palette template. • Baking paper. • Stencil (I get mine from Say It With Sweetness). Step 3: Once paint transfers are fully dry, use an airbrush to spray on the Amerimist colour. You can also use a paint brush to paint the colours onto the swatches, but I find airbrushing is faster and gives me a more even result. Repeat with all colours you want to use, cleaning the airbrush in between colour changes. Set transfers aside and allow to dry completely. • Paint brush for the finished cookie. Step 1: Begin by making some cookies large or small enough for your stencil design. Outline and flood them using a medium consistency royal icing, using a scribe tool to spread icing across the cookie evenly and to get rid of any lump/bumps. Ensure that your stencil will fit onto the flooded area. Allow to dry completely (allow at least 8-12 hours). Step 2: While the iced cookies are drying, make the paint transfers. Step 4: Peel your coloured paint transfers off of the baking paper. If they are fully dried, they will come off easily and not leave any residue. Set aside. Outline and flood the remaining section of cookie using a medium consistency icing (this is where the paint transfers will go). Use a scribe tool to manoeuvre the icing and make it smooth. While the icing is still wet, place the coloured paint transfers directly on to the cookie. Allow to dry completely. Cont. step 2: To do this, place a piece of baking paper over your paint transfer template. Using a medium consistency royal icing, flood in the shapes (I use rectangles) and use a scribe tool to make the icing smooth. Allow transfers to dry completely (allow 8-

Step 3: Repeat with all colours you want to use, cleaning the airbrush in between colour changes. Set transfers aside and allow to dry completely. Step 4: they will come off easily and not leave any residue. Set aside. Outline and flood the paint transfers will go). Use a scribe tool to manoeuvre the icing and make it smooth. While the icing is still wet, place the coloured paint transfers directly on to the cookie. Allow to dry completely.

Step 5: Place your stencil on your completely dried cookie. Using a stiff consistency black royal icing, place icing onto the stencil and use an offset spatula to pull the icing across the stencil. Make sure the icing is spread evenly and covers all parts of the stencil design. Scrape off any excess, and then remove the stencil from the cookie by lifting it straight up. Set aside to dry.

We chatted to Sharon about her humble beginnings in her tiny apartment kitchen, to becoming a globe-trotting teacher, published author and business mentor. You've gone from creating cakes in your tiny apartment, to teaching internationally,launchingyourown range of products and books, and creating your own video and online tutorials. What's next for you? Who knows! Every time I plan to do something with my business, 50% of the time it works out and the other 50% of the time I seem to end up in the opposite direction! But I do know I want to be able to find a way to connect with more people from around the world in a more meaningful way. This possibly means creating more online courses and communities in a way that is more personal than traditional online learning has been. I'm also looking at exploring other non- cake related things too, so who knows what will work out and where I will end up?
