Description
Add a lifelike touch to your nature cakes with this Pond Turtle formed quickly in gum paste or chocolate. To create a natural looking turtle, press pale yellow sugar dough into body mold. It easily pops out. Set stomach on cotton or polyfiber, and tuck legs down, while propping head up to dry. Press darker yellow dough into shell mold and glue on top of body. It is that easy. For painting, dust surface and edges with dark green leaving some yellow still showing. Paint with detail brush and water loosened food colors, black lines and red patch on neck. Dust with green luster dust to moisten appearance.
Check out the two quick stylized versions that you can create in a couple minutes. Always use two shades to form the Turtle with the lighter hue used to shape the body. Even with no detail painting except for dots for the eyes, these two cute turtles look remarkably real!
All green silicone molds are designed by Scott Clark Woolley and made of durable silicone that creates strong impressions in any medium. Silicone is heat and cold resistant, therefore, excellent for chocolate and other melted forms.
