This
week I am continuing on the breakfast theme with some fried eggs.
These are the typical “Sunny Side Up” eggs that my dad loved to
eat for his breakfast. In real life they can be kind of tricky to get
them cooked just so but, in mini they really couldn't be easier.
In
my opinion these fried eggs are probably the easiest food item I have
ever demonstrated for you (hence the short length of the video) but
at the same time one of the coolest when finished.
You
only need 3 colors of clay (white, translucent, and a golden yellow)
I used Fimo but any brand would work for these. The only other
material you will need is some clear glass paint, I used Gallery
Glass because that is what I have and I know how it works.
Since
we are coating the cooked clay with the glass paint I cooked the eggs
on a tile. I find that when I cook my foods on a paper plate and then
coat with the glass paint the paper from the plate sticks to the
dried paint and makes a mess. I really dislike baking on the tile but
it is just easier for this project.
Since
these are so easy they would also be really easy to re-size to
another scale. Just work up or down in size.
One
tip, don't make the balls of white/translucent clay to perfect, you
want the egg white to have an interesting shape. Also don't put your
yolks all dead center on the whites. Think about how a real fried egg
looks, they are never perfect.
Above
all HAVE FUN!!!!
Those eggs look good enough to eat and so does the bacon! The little people know how to eat! That's for sure! Thanks for the tutorial!
