Julie, these are wonderful... my gosh, they look so life-like and yummy! It was good you added the close-ups at the end, because it really showed the details that I imagined, but couldn't quite see (even on a large screen). Thank you for taking time to show this tutorial and for having the variety of food. I can't imagine how long a video like this must take to put together. It was quite impressive!
For those who don’t have a pasta machine they can use a deck of playing cards and depending on the thickness you use so many cards one pile on each side of the clay to stop them sliding around just glue them together until you have the thickness required 😊😊 I used this method until I bought my first paster machine 🤗
Beautiful job & great video. I haven't made any miniature food because I was feeling so intimidated but you've provided such an excellent tutorial, I can't thank you enough. 👏🏻👍🏻😃
@@JulieWarren Say you're working on multiple pieces with soft pastels, can you leave the pastel dusted unbaked clays for multiple days covered in pastel dust without anything happening to them before and after baking? I ask because some people who bake polymer clay on cornstarch suggest people to not leave the clays for too long in the cornstarch because it makes the clay brittle the longer it's in the cornstarch tub because the clay's plasticizers get absorbed into the cornstarch and after baking they become easily broken as a result. Since soft pastels is a dusty material i'm wondering if the same issue applies. Like does the dust get absorbed into the clay over days?
Hi Julie! Thank you so much for this tutorial! I am going to try making these! I look forward to seeing the other mini food tutorials that you are going to do! 😁
I love miniatures, haven't made any food yet but you've inspired me to do so. Great tutorials, your very easy to follow and understand. thank you for sharing your talents :)
PS If you get it too sticky with the oil, you can remove it by rolling the clay out and putting it on a sheet of paper which will absorb the excess oil.
Julie, FIMO can be one of the hardest clays to soften, but adding one or two drops of baby oil makes all the difference and you don´t need to buy the FIMO liquid softener which is expensive and toxic to your skin.
I got some fimo yesterday I got lucky to find this tutorial. I am going to make peaches to put in a jar . I need to learn about using resin to put in the jar with the pieces of fruit. So far I am seeing huge expensive resin kits when I only need a spoon full.
The best thing to use for that is Scenic water. I've got on my RUclips to do list a tutorial for a selection of pickle / veg jars, where I'll show you how to use it. :)
Hi Julie Warren, Good day to you. This Making Miniature Food #2 - Biscuits & Cookies Tutorial was one of the best I've seen. Your attention to detail and easy to follow instructions make it look so easy. Your food looks so real I was getting hungry lol Take care, wishing you the very best, and I hope you have a wonderful day. Thank you for sharing your time, talents, tips, and your Lovely creative fun miniature tutorial videos with all of us. Peace & Joy :) Liked & Shared as always. :D
Great Video! It really helped me and inspired me. I have one question though, Is it safe to put any types of seeds like poppy seeds with the clay in the oven? Just a little question.
You can also soften clay with mineral oil or baby oil. But just the teeniest bit or it will get sticky. Apply with a toothpick so you will only add the smallest amount.
Julie Warren the clay softener/ baby oil can be painted over before baking and will remove finger prints to give a smooth surface. Use cornflour when your fingers get sticky. I’m loving this video. I’ve never used clay for food xx. Another fab Julie Warren tutorial ❤️
in the DIY vids there is a charming Japanese guy that makes minis he has a plastic tool that has measured scoops for measuring clay out in amounts for things like these cookies and fruit
Thank you Yolanda. I've had the dishes in my collection for a while, so can't remember where they came from now, but please do have a look in my Etsy shop, where you'll find some nice crockery sets. :)
Thanks Julie, for your talented creativity. I would like to know where to purchase the little square cutter you used to make the finger cookies with. I would really like to know and what size.
You are very welcome Vickie. I think I bought the cutter from GeorgeWeil.com I've had it for many years. Mine is 6mm (1/4 inch) but they are available in all sizes. :)
Hi can I ask, the tiles u use for the oven, is that just a basic white tile? Can u use any type of tile? Loved watching this tutorial. They look amazing 💕
Hi, I am clearly not Julie and this is a month later, but yes, you can bake clay on anything oven safe - tiles, ceramic flower pots, metal trays, glass tiles etc. Just make sure once it's been used for clay, you do not use it for anything else. Hope this helps :)
Just what I needed and will be having a try. The biscuits look fabulous and many thanks for providing sizes as well.
Beautifully done. I can now combine my two favorite hobbies, baking cookies and miniatures! Thank you Julie
Rolling your clay through a pasta machine is a great way to soften it.
Fantastic tutorial for us beginners. Thank you for sharing. Take care.
Thank you Debbie.

Thank you another really useful video.Looking forward to more.
I cant wait to give this a try. Thanks Julie!

Amazing!!!!!

Thanks for the tip, Anabela, that's really helpful. :)
I see a new hobby in my future! So cute & you make it look so easy. Thank you for the detailed video :-)
Do give it a go, it's so much fun. :)
This is great!!
I bow to you!
Lovely and precise instructions as always! Thank you for sharing!! 💖😊
Thank you.
Thanks Julie😊
You’re welcome 😊
YUMMY!
Thank you.
If you stack a couple of playing cards either side of the clay when you roll it out they will act as a depth guide for your roller
It's still a great tip! :)
I got some fimo yesterday I got lucky to find this tutorial. I am going to make peaches to put in a jar . I need to learn about using resin to put in the jar with the pieces of fruit. So far I am seeing huge expensive resin kits when I only need a spoon full.
Look in to UV resin
The best thing to use for that is Scenic water. I've got on my RUclips to do list a tutorial for a selection of pickle / veg jars, where I'll show you how to use it. :)
Would clear nail polish help? No idea, just thinking 🤔
I’ve read that you can also add a bit of baby oil to make the clay more pliable again, but, don’t over do it.
Thank you, that's a useful tip. :)
A TIP: To soften clay, I chop it up into small pieces and it makes it easier to work with and blend.
That's a great tip, thank you.

Thanks Julie, Are you planning to do more clay tutorials? Been watching all your videos from the very beginning loving them❤❤❤
Hi Heidi, yes, I'd like to do a bread tutorial. It's on my list, so do keep an eye out! :)
Great Video! It really helped me and inspired me. I have one question though, Is it safe to put any types of seeds like poppy seeds with the clay in the oven? Just a little question.
Thanks Isabelle. Not quite why adding the seeds would be a safety hazard? I've mixed them with the clay many times.
@@JulieWarren Okay, thank you so much for your reply. I will know from now on that it is safe. I was just a bit curious. Again, thank you!
Beautiful..can you use anything other than ground rice? Would ground almonds achieve the same ‘look’?

Blonde Poll. If not clay, can you tell us what you do use please? 😊
@@rongablue Not sure if this was meant for me, Mary. So I'm not sure I understand the question. Would love to help out if I can.
@@JulieWarren I find a tiny drop of liquid sculpey tls works well to soften crumbly clay, better than liquid fimo does.
in the DIY vids there is a charming Japanese guy that makes minis he has a plastic tool that has measured scoops for measuring clay out in amounts for things like these cookies and fruit
That sounds like a great tool.
@@JulieWarren look for the Japanese guy he adds a lot of frog figurines he uses it all the time DIY vids
A little drop of pva glue does the trick with air dry clay, I’ve never tried it with the sort that you bake.
Thank you, Elaine.
Oh my! These are wonderful! You have definitely inspired me to try this. May I ask where you got the dishes to display your baked goods?
Thank you Yolanda. I've had the dishes in my collection for a while, so can't remember where they came from now, but please do have a look in my Etsy shop, where you'll find some nice crockery sets. :)
@@JulieWarren Thank you Julie. I will do just that!!!
Lovely! Thanks for the wonderful tutorial ♥️🍪 May I ask what kind of glue you used at the end?
I used a tacky glue, you can use any sort of PVA.
Howdy. What can be used as a substitute for the ground rice?
Anything which is not too 'grainy', if you know what I mean! :)
Fantastic

I made plates and bowls the other day and a quarter of them have broken while sanding them. Anyone have any suggestions?
I'm sorry to hear that Anita. They should only need a very light sand around the edges.
wish my fimo was that soft. hurts my hands to work with it.
That's a shame. Try warming your hands up first, that can help.
Instead of mixing "champagne" with "white", why not leave the champagne on its own, fr a golden baked cookie?!
