Whipped Cream Rings

Looks as delicious as the real thing =]

Happy crafting!

1

Get your area ready! Put wax paper over the area that you'll be using, set up the caulk, etc.

I just used a tube of white kitchen and bath silicone caulk. You can get it at any hardware store pretty cheaply

*OPTIONAL*

Squeeze some caulk out into a piping bag and mix in a few drops of food coloring.

I didn't do this because I just wanted a "whipped cream" look. Also, most caulks are paintable once they've dried. Check the instructions on yours!
3

You can squeeze the caulk through an icing tip, or just out of the tube for different textures.
4

To make the ring in the fourth photo, roll some wax paper around your finger, tape it together, and then squeeze caulk around that. Let it hang to dry.
5

To make the spiky ones, squeeze out a blob of caulk, and then take a toothpick and poke it in, and quickly pull it out, making little peaks.
6

If you have any embellishments, stick them on now while the caulk is still soft.
7

Let it sit for 24-48 hours! Do not be tempted to poke at them while they dry, because you could leave fingerprints in them!
8

Now you may carefully peel them off the paper! You can use scissors to trim off any stray pieces.

Then, use hot glue to attach them to ring bases.

Note: I also used this method to "ice" my polymer clay cake....

...and I found a bottle cap which I filled with caulk, and then stuck mini fruit slices in =]
