1. 01 Introduction: Thank you for taking this class. In this class, we
learned how to make these cute wild animals
out of modeling chocolate. And of course, I showed you with zebra how to do a 5050 mix of
modeling chocolate and gum. They are perfect for
painting on top of. When doing a themed party. First, I will teach you how to make the
modeling chocolate. Next, I will teach you
how to make the elephant. Then I will teach you how
to make the polymers. We will then move on
to making the line. Next, we will make
the rhinoceros. We will make the tiger. And finally, we
will make the seed. I'm a self-taught filmmaker
and cake decorating. Many years ago, I decided I wanted to open up my own home. And so I took a lot of classes, read a lot of books,
watched a lot of videos, and of course, did
a lot of practice. Until I felt like I could decorate cakes for other
people for special occasions. I had opened up my
own home bakery, and I had this for
several years, making cakes, cupcakes, and other delicious desserts and shoots to sell to my customers. And at festivals and
farms marketing. I had this business for several
years and tell my husband got a job off across the
country in New York City. We felt like this was
a good move for us. So I closed down my bakery and we moved across the
country to do York City. Now here in New York City, I do not want to go through the steps to open
up my own home. But I still love
baking, decorating. I've decided to
share my skills with you on Skillshare
class has ended. The baker would like
to learn how to make these cute bottling
chocolate animals to put on top of cupcakes. I am excited to teach you
the skills in this class. Let's move on to
lesson number one, making the modeling chocolate.
2. 02 The Modeling Chocolate: Before we can work with
the model and chocolate, we need to get so you
can buy it premade. It's not very cheap. You can buy pre-made. Let me show you just how
easy it is to make it. I have here two different
types of chocolate. So I'm going to make some
white modeling chocolates. And I'm going to make some dark ground
modeling chocolates, same as I have in
these packages. Now. I am very small
bag if the white, so I'm not going
to make as much. I'm going to make a
pound of the dark. To do that, we need to first start by melting the chocolates. Let's start with the
white chocolate. I'm going to put this
in the microwave for about a minute
and a half on £50. And then we will take
it out and store it in. The microwave is
about ready to go. So we're gonna take it out and stirred and see
if it's melted. We want to scale this up. Chocolate does not always look melted even
when it is motion, but we want it
completely melted before we add the corn syrup. Now when making
model and chocolate, the ratio of chocolate to
corn syrup is four to one. So you want four times
as much chocolate as you have corn syrup. So here I had ten
ounces of chocolate, which meant I wanted
2.5 ounces corn syrup. Till story by do I have to put this back
in the microwave? It's only going to be for
like about a half a minute. Mike, We'll get it
melted without him. We're gonna stick it back
in for half a minute. Every time I put it
back in the microwave, I still want to have 50% power because I don't
want to burn the chocolate. The microwave is
about ready to beat. We're going to
pull it out again, see if it's now melts. It just gives us Tara. As you can see, there is no chunks in
it, so that's ready. Now, we're gonna take our
corn syrup and stick it in. And once we have that and
we just want to stir it up, we don't want to
start vigorously. And it's going to
look not big kid before we're done because we're basically
breaking the chocolate. And then going beyond. So as you can see, the chocolate is
losing its cross. M is starting to
separate from the bowl, and that's what we want
soon as we get it all. So there's no class. This is what we're
looking for, right? Like that. We're just going to take
a piece of plastic wrap, put it down on the counter. And we're going to put this chocolate on
top of the cerebrum. Now. We're going
to miss it down. Now we're just going to
wrap this up like this. Finally, we're going to
let this sit overnight. And then tomorrow, we'll show you just
how nice this looks. We're going to do the same
with the dark chocolate. Although because I have a pound, I'm going to stick this
in the microwave at 50% for two minutes. Before I bring it out to stir, the microwave is
about ready to leap. Meaning the two
minutes is almost up. When it does, we will bring
it out and see if it melted. I want to stir the chocolate just like I did the
white chocolate. You'll notice one question. That even though it
didn't look melted, a lot of it is now melted down. I'm not sure it
is melted enough. Yeah. After the first two minutes, you only want to give it
a half a minute each. So I'm gonna give this
another half a minute. At 50% power. It has gone for
another 30 seconds. Now we're going
to stir it again. And that's looking like it's
going to totally notes. I will keep stirring it too. I see no lumps. Those lumps
do seem to be disappearing. We're gonna do the same with this that we did with the other. And then we're
going to stir this. Now this was a fresh bottle of corn syrup and the other one was an older bubble and
so I hit Pick it up. So this one blended in. A lot nicer. You see how it's
starting to see CH, which is what we want. And we're going to
now do the same with the other class if F down and I'm going
to dump that on there. I also want to spread out. Now this was also a
higher-quality of chocolate. And so you're seeing oil. The higher-quality of
chocolate would have makes it a little bit
harder to work with. So now we're going
to let this sit overnight and then we'll be ready to start working with
our model in chocolate.
3. 03 The Elephant: We are ready to start
making our elephant animal. So I'm going to take small amount of this and I'm going to
roll it into a bowl. And I want it to be
completely smooth and round. Once I have a nice smooth ball. I'm going to let this sit for a minute while I make
the other parts. I'm ready to make the
legs. For the legs. I'm rolling this mount into bio and then rolling
it into a cylinder. If the mom and
chocolate is too soft, you want to be able
to handle it better. You can always put a
little cornstarch. Okay, now that I
have that rolled out grid to cut it in half. Then cut it in half again. So that I have four equal parts. And then I want to roll
these also into balls. Now I'm going to
take another piece and I want to know
this also into a ball. This is for the ears. Roll into a ball. And I want to smash that. And I want it to stay looking like a ball or a
circle, I should say. The cornstarch, little bit
more corn starch on it. So I can work with it. I'm
going to cut this in half. And I have my two ears. Next, we're going to make
the trunk the trunk. Again, going to be rolling this time a
little bit thicker, fall, I do a ball. Then I'm going to
kind of elongated, making it narrower
at the bottom. And then I'm going to
add some lines in there. Then I want this
also setup again. Next we're gonna make Patel, we're going to make another
very small cylinder. Make the ball, let me make this cylinder very
narrow at this end. Not quite so narrow at the sand. And then I'm going to put some little and then bring
it to a point there. And we're going to also
let that setup, okay, next we want to make a test, and I'm just going to use
a little bit of white. I have to send him down
and I want to bring this flat on one end point
on the other like that. Let's check that in half. We're going to because
that was so thick, I was able to get both the tests out of the
one once I cut it in half, down, this more sharp. And then I have my two tests. I want to pick the
white on the ear are going to form this in the half circle and
flatten it down. And stick this on that
arrow right there. And push it down in forming
the shape we want on the ear. And I'm going to do the
same with this air. Taken just a little
bit of white. Make hit that curved shape. I do want to make sure
they're about the same size, so kinda lane it there
and I see I need a bit more of a
curved they're there. And then I'm going
to put this, um, this one and push it
in and then make sure those ears are basically
the same size. Our ears are now ready. Now we're going to
come back to the legs. These legs, I want to
flatten them at the bottom, kinda bring them up to round
it at the top, like this. So there's still sort of ball-shaped except
that we're flattening them at the bottom
and bringing them up. Flattening them at the
bottom and bring them up. Kind of almost making
a teardrop shape. So I'm kinda rolling it in my
fingers that more pointed. And then I'm going
to take this and do. Just little lines
that forest toes. Now, we're ready to put
our elephant together. I want you to attach all the
pieces with this spaghetti. This is Ross begin
because that way, when a child eats it, they're not going to eat
anything that's not edible. It's all going to be edible. So first we want
to stick our legs on and we're going to
stick them on like this. So I'm going to stick that in there and then pop
that in there. And just kind of format. Bring it up more to the front. Form that on there. I'm going to do the same
with the next slide. That in there right across
from where that one is, C, where the front is. Put that in. And then we're going to
do the same at the back. And now that we have
those links on, we're going to let them set. And I want to pick my trunk. The trunk is going to go on the front here and I wanted
to poke this way in. Then that trunk down in there. There's his trunk. And we're gonna do the
same with the ear. With the ear. So I wanted to poke
it into the ear first and then stick
it on the side. Cook it in the other ear. Stick it on this side. Then we have the two tusks here. So I put that test. Then I'm going to just stick
the test right here at the top of the
trunk, right here. So we have that part done. And then we're going to
put the tail on the back. And I'm just going to stick
this most of the way into a little bit sticking out tell on there and have
it swishing up. I'm going to come back and add my details that tell
it looks like hair. This is kinda really soft. Want to add one more
thing before I let it harden up and then
after it's hard enough, I can come back and
add the details. I want to try to smooth trunk into smooth ears down onto. And I want to pick the
eyes on and my eyes are just little tiny black dots. Very small piece
modeling chocolate. And I put one right there, another small piece
and put it, there. Might be a little bit too big. Here's my elephant
that is SAP for, well, I want to get some
water on my fingers and just come in and smooth this
modeling chocolate around. All sticky very well. And when you feel like it's at the point where you like it, then you quit and you're done.
4. 04 Hippopotamus: We're ready now to
make the optimist. I pick needing some
brown chocolate into some orange that I had from an earlier animal I
sculpted in another lesson. I'm trying to get
kind of a oranges brown for my hippopotamus. Right now all I'm doing
is meeting this together. We have our chocolate,
it's been needed. Now I'm going to take
just a small amount. I'm going to roll it
into a ball and I want to get all of
the lines out of it. You can see my ball is very
shiny and that's okay. That just means some
oils have coming up and I'm going to need
to let my ball rest. I'm going to let this sit
while that's resting, I'm going to take
another piece and this one going to
need it to fall. And then I'm going to
roll it into a sausage. This is gonna be his legs. And the reason why
I'm rolling it into the sausage to make the legs. I want to make sure I
have equal amounts. So now I'm gonna take this and I'm gonna divide it in half. Make sure that's in half. Cut it in half again
and half again. Now I'm going to take the same ball's going to form
them into another ball. Once I have it in tuple, I'm going to kind of
make it a teardrop shape because I wanted it
more narrow at the top. And then I'm going to miss
it kinda flat on my mat. So we're going to do
that with all of them. Do some shaping. Well, I'm here making sure
they're all the same. You can pet this to see how
it's going to be on here. And that's how it's
going to be on there. Now, I want to make his face. I'm going to take another piece of this model in chocolate. Need it so that it's smooth. I'm going to roll
this into a ball. This time I'm going to take that ball and I want
to wish it flat. I want to round it and then
make it flat on this side. And a little bit
bigger up at the top. We have a flatter
there, bigger up here. Then I'm going to take this little ball and
up here at the top, I'm going to poke holes. That's his nose. This is gonna go right there. Now, I want to make his ears, as ears are not very big. Just going to take
a little bit here. I'm going to miss it down. Make sure it's rounded at the
top and flat at the bottom. But his ears are not that big. Let's just kind of like
that. And do another one. Round and smooth first. Then again flattening. They can around it the top
and we're flat at the bottom. Put them next to each other to make sure they're the same size. I'm going to flatten
it a little bit more, make it a little bit
longer and flatter, curving up at the top. Now I'm going to take just
a little bit of this white. Go to break just a tiny bit off. Very tiny bit. You see how small that? I'm going to make
it even smaller. Because I want to put this
in the center of the ear. So I need it to be smaller than that air and I want it
to be much flatter. Now I'm going to push that
brown up around that white. There's his ear. Let me do the same
with another piece. Push that one also in there.
A little bit too big. Pull some of that off and
then push that down in there. Make sure those is
about the same size. To connect my things, I like to use the spaghetti. The spaghetti in the air. Then stick in one ear. And let's do the same
with the other ear. And you don't need
really long pieces, just enough to have a tiny
bit on each side that inside the ear that
you're doing around it. And then stick that
into the body. Let's fix that error. Turn that around
so I can see it. To be more like that. Body. Then stick the Arabic. Because this is
Marlin chocolate, I can smooth that.
There's the areas. And I take this part off because I want
to make this more. Our ball is flattening out
because it's getting too soft. So I'm smoothing that
ball, making it bigger. And these may not be perfect
because they're so small, it's hard to get them perfect. And this I'm not going
to stick the Getty on, but I am going to get
the back of this wet, not too wet so that it
will just stick there. We're going to stick the teeth. Before we stick the thumb. We want to draw the mouth here
so it's curved this down. We'll get a draw the
mouth right here. Because we want the teeth to
be coming out of that mouth. And the teeth are
gonna be just little tiny that off now
that I've formed it. You'll see just tap tiny tooth is we want it to be
coming out of his mouth. They're gonna do another one. They're stick. And now that I have
those teeth there again, I'm going to go and
redo that mouth. And I want to redo that
knows that knows to be seen. Now I'm going to
stick these legs on. And to do that, I'm just
going to break off. And I'm going to
stick one in here. Then stick that lake. Stick another one right here. Stick that leg on the right. I have the two front legs. And I'm going to do the
same with the back. This is getting a little soft. But I want to add
that tell the tale is just another piece
of this brown. And we roll it into cylinder and we
don't want it very long. It's just going to
go on the back. Like that. We need to put the
eyes on our hippo. I'm taking just a little
bit of black, small dot. Let me show you how small it is. Just a very small dot and
hopefully that's not too big. Let's just get that on there. And then I do the
same, same size. On the other side. That one's bigger, takes
you take a look at it. I'm doing it from behind, so it's really hard
to see Sunday, I move that up there. Now we have our hip.
5. 05 The Lion: We're now ready
to make the line. I have my yellow modeling, chocolate, brown, some black. And I'm going to take
it just a little bit of white and a tiny
bit of that yellow, and mix them together
to get a color yellow. I'm going to mix this together. And we'll show you
the difference. I don't need a whole lot of
this because it's just for the face and the
insights of the ears. So when you put them together, you can see the difference. Although I'm thinking
I may want it just a little bit more of a contrast, so I'm adding a little bit more of the notch yellow to it. Now when you compare them, you can see there's a big
difference in the color, right? We're now ready
to make our lion. We're going to start
by grabbing some of this yellow and
squishing it together, rolling it in a bowl. And we won it so that
there's no cracks in it. So that's pretty smooth. That's what we're looking for. So we're going to
just sit that down, let that some of the
oil seep back in. And now I want to do four legs. But to do the legs and to
make them the same size, I'm going to roll out one ball, this ball I'm going to
make into a cylinder. And I want the cylinder to be the same thickness
all the way across. And then just like the other animals going to
cut that in half. Cut it in half again. Cut it in half again. And that way I'm able to
make them all the same size. I'm going to make
this into a ball, and then I'm going to
elongate that ball. So that means I have
my finger at the top, so it's kind of a tear shape and then I flattened like that, put it next to that to
see what it looks like. Make sure it's the right size. That I'm going to do
that with the next one, exactly the same flat and compare it makes sure
they're the same size. I do that with all four
of them. With that done. Now, you can use several tools. I've been using this. On the other hand,
if I want to show you how you can also use. So on the par, I'm just going to
go and make 123, those three Paul
marks like that. I'm going to do that
on all four legs. I'm going to go ahead and
get me a piece of spaghetti. Remember I like to use the
spaghetti to make a stick. And I'm going to stick the spaghetti in each leg
just a little bit in. And now I can just stick this in here in the ball and
there's my first leg. And I'm going to
use this to help get that chocolate malt
in and bring that down. Let's share this space here. Make sure you see
those clean lines. And then let's do the same with the next
one in the front. And then stick that. I want to use my tool here
to connect that to the ball. So the ball is looking a little bit less and less like a bowl. As we get everything connected. I don't want to move that
and you can have it. So all the seams are showing and not get it quite so
connected like this, or you can connect it. Now I'm going to
come back and do those pause because
you couldn't see them. Let's quickly get the
last two legs on. They go on the back. Now we have our
body and our legs. We're gonna do the
spikes were the main. So I want to get
a bunch of balls, a bunch of blog about this size. I want about nine. I may end up meeting
more than that. I may end up not needing
quite that many, but I'm going to
start by doing nine. Now with that, I'm going
to roll this interval and then make it into a cone shape so that
it looks like that. Take a small piece of the
spaghetti, stick it in. And I'm going to
start right here at the bottom and
just poke that in. There's his hair right there. I'm just going to
go around fall. You can enter point. That's a little bit longer, so I'm going to
flatten out point. Just in time. I don't
need a long piece, just a tiny piece. The next to that one. I'm going to continue
with the next one. Okay. We have a question. We have a little bit
more fish showing there. And now we're ready to do the
mouth parts or the muzzle. So I'm going to use
this lighter color. I'm going to start this
Hershey, you can see it. I'm going to start by
rolling this in a ball. Then I'm going to flatten it. And I want to look
at more pointy at the bottom and we'll
round up there. But we want it mostly
circle like that. And they want to try to
take this off without losing its shape but
loses its shape, try to form it back
before we stick it on. Then this is going
to go right here. We're looking if
it's the right size. Now, we're going to take
another piece of this one. This is the color we used for the mean and we're
going to make the nose. So I wrote this in a ball, then I just flatten it. And you can have more
pointy at the bottom. And I'm just going to stick
this right on top there. And then I'm going to
take this yellow again, and I want to roll it in a ball, platinum or relatives a sausage, then flatten it,
square the edges up. This goes right
across the top there. Now we're ready to do the eyes. Eyes, which is using this block. And you see this amount here is probably more than I
need for the two eyes. So I just pinch it teeny tiny bit off rolling
into a ball. You'll see how small that is. And I put it right there. If I can get it, Just don't
want it to stick to my hand. This to get it to go on there. And I'm going to do another
one to make it the same size. Well, that in a bowl, stick it on there to get it up that's a little
bit bigger than we want. When you're looking at it, you can see it's a lot
bigger than the other. So far, all we have left is we're going to put
the tail on it. We're going to take
this yellow again. I just want a very small amount. That's probably still too much, very small mat,
roll it in a bowl. You notice most things start
by rolling it in a bowl. Then I'm going to
roll it in a sausage. Little bit thinner than that. How thin I want it, but getting it that then
has made it way too long. I'm going to cut some of this
is how we're going to need. And then I'm going to take just a little bit
of this was his main We're going to roll this in a bowl and then in
the tear shape. Then what I want
to do with this is I want to give it some hair. So I'm just going to as
I'm turning it and drying lines up like this so that
it's nice, bushy tail. We're going to stick the brown
part onto the yellow part. That to connect a little
bit better, bring it down. Use my fingers in
just a little bit of water so that I can
smooth this down. You'll notice that that yellow got way shorter than we wanted. So I'm just going to roll
it it back to the length. We want to add a little bit
with detail again to this. Then I'm going to stick
onto the back right there. And then just keep
adding detail. Hold this up. And there's
this backend at this point, this line down here, which helps to define
where his mouth is. We still need to add
the ears to our lion. So I'm just going to
break off a little bit of yellow rolling into a
ball and flatten it. We wanted to have a little
bit of thickness to it. Then I'm going to
cut it in half. And I have my two ears
knife, we'll come back. And I want these to be
more rounded like this. That rounded like that, and then do the same
with the other. Become more rounded. And I want to compare them. I'm trying to make them
about the same size. Then I'm gonna take this
lighter color again, just a little bit
that in a bowl and then flatten that.
With this one. I do want a flat on
one side and curving. And then I'm going
to stick this right in there. That's too much. So let me do that again. Flatten it, make it
flat on one side, curved on the other, and stick it in there. Just bring that down. And I'm going to do the
same with the other ear. And then we're going to stick. We need one ear
right there and one right right in
front of the main. And now we have our finish line.
6. 06 The Rhinoceros: We're ready to make
the rhinoceros. To do that, I have this gray that was leftover
from the elephant. I want to make it
a little bit blue. Not a whole lot,
just a little bit. So I'm just putting just a
tiny bit of blue on there. And then because it's so little, I'm not putting a glove
on because all we're trying to do is blew up our
grid just a little bit, so make it a blue-gray, still going to
basically look gray. We're just adding a
touch of blue to it. Of course I want to need it until I don't see
any streaks of blue, but it's all one color. See how we're starting to get a little bit of a blue tone, but still mainly gray. Now, if you feel like that's not enough blue and I
don't think it is. I can go and do the same. Step. One more drop of blue mix that in the center so that I don't
need to put the gloves on. It starts bleeding out, folded into the center. I'm still getting a
little bit on my fingers. I probably should have
put the gloves on these vinyl gloves so that my hands were protected,
but that's okay. I'm going to need
this in this time. I think we're gonna get more of that blue color that we want. Or the bluish gray,
I should say. You can see now it's starting
to take on that blue tint. Without like that. We're going to pull just
a little bit off because we want to lighten this
with a lighter color on it. So we're going to mix that with some white kind of equal parts. Actually, I have more
white than I do agree. But that's okay because
we're really trying to lighten this gray up for the mouth area and
inside of the ears. And you'll see that
lightened it up a lot and get it so
it's totally smooth. Don't want any streaks
and the color, and you see the difference
in the two colors. We're now ready to begin
making our rhinoceros. Going to start by
making his body. So I have my chunk, remember all it and
place it down if I wanted to make sure that it kept this shape and did not
go plump and flat. I could put this in the
fridge and it could set up. I'm not that concerned that
it's totally a bell shape, so I'm going to let it go. Now. I need to do his legs. I'm going to show you if you don't want to make the sausage, just kinda make four balls
here before you roll them out, make sure they're the same size. A little bit more to that. This is another way you can do it if you don't want
to roll it out. As you notice, I'm
having a hard time breaking off the same size, but it's really up to you
which way you want to go. Then once you have that, of course, we're going
to roll it into a ball. This is getting
really, really soft. So I'm going to just roll
these in a mall and put all these off to the side
so they can harden up. And then I'll be able
to finish shaping them. So you see, I'm putting
them up here in the corner and I will
come back to it. So there's the forelegs and
I'm going to work with, I'm going to need two ears. Break some small ears. So make them flat
and a little bit rounded that there to dry the other ear versus two ears. This one's a little bit smaller. I'm going to make this
one a little bit bigger. That one looks good. Let's try this one again
and let those sit. And then this is going
to be for his mouth. I wrote that in a bowl
and lay this down here, flatten it out, make sure it's
about the size you run it. And then I'm going to use
my small bump tool here. And I wanted to
poke the nostrils. I want that to be very obvious. And then we're going
to let that dry. I'll so let's do the horn. The horn is just
going to be a ball. Then make into a you
can see it's 0.2. I can cover a little
bit if I want. Printed. There, I have my
rhinoceros horn. Let's make the tail, the tail cylinder
then on the one end. So we want to kind of narrow. It's going to flatten out. We're going to let that
dry while they're drawing. I'm going to take legs and make them the
shape I want them. And then I like using this
tool to make those lines. That's gonna go right on there. And I don't have on this smile, I really don't have
to use the spaghetti. I can just stick this to that. Did not like that. See what it looks like here. So turn it, just get this to totally stick
their smooth it out. And I'm going to do the
same with the other one. I'm not going to. Class though, or the pause on the other one until
I have it attached. So put it on this
side right here. And this time I'll use
the sculpting tool. I want to get this to
actually cling to that ball. If you don't want to
use this spaghetti, you could do that. But you're going to
want to wait till it really dries before you move it. I'm going to do the same
with this back foot. Let's put that on there. Chewing and do the
same with this one. Chewing on there. Then we're going
to let these dry before we put the lines on. Now on these errors. We want to put that center part in the same way as we
did with the lion. Just going to make a tiny
ball and stick it in there. And flatten it down. Tiny ball. Stick it in there. Flattened down. Stick this right up top. And stick this one. Make this. Stick it right on top. Make sure those
are looking good. Now we're going to stick
right here and I want to stick just a little
bit of water on that. A little bit too much water, so dump it off and that's
going to help it stick. I can pick this up so I
can see that down there. So you see that that's on there. Then we're ready to stick
our horn on in our horn, which is going to stick that
in the back of the horn. Stick that right there on top. Let me turn that
so I can see it. Make sure I get them. We're looking nice
the way I wanted it. There's my horn. Now, we want to do the eyes. So again, we're going to
do those little tiny dots that up so I can see if
those buys a good, good. There is our rhinoceros. All we have left is the tail. And this tail is
starting to harden up. We'll get a curve it and just
plop it right on the back. Clear down at the bottom. And then we want to add the detail here of the
lines that tells too big. I'm going to redo
that tilt different. First of all, I just
want a tiny bit right here that goes right
there, going up. And then I'm actually
going to add just a little bit of black
to this gray because I want this fishy part to be a darker color so that it
stands out from the rest. Meaning not in. You can see it's a darker color. That in a bowl. Then make a cone-shaped
plot there. I'm ready to go ahead and put a bunch of lines going around, keep going all the way around
with it, putting lines. That backup if I can
stick that right there. This is really, really soft. There's the backside
of the vein now. There's the front side.
7. 07 The Tiger: We're now ready to
make our timer. Let me show you how we do this. Our tiger, we're going to use the same yellow that
we used on the lion. And I took this color
and I'm needing it into the white because I want the nose to be more of
this color right here. And then we're also
going to use some white. But the first thing
we need to do, oh, and of course the black. The first thing we need
to do is we need to take this break some off. I want to roll the
cinnabar and I want to keep rolling it until
I have no cracks. You can see I still have cracks. They're going to
keep rolling it. And now you see it
has no tracks at all. We can start forming
the pause and the ears, which are also done
with this yellow, I'm going to set that aside. And with the ears, roll that in a bowl, flatten it, cut it in half. And I want to make this
more round like that. I'm going to make this
more round like that. And then we're going
to use the white, just a little bit of white. I get kind of roundish.
Stick it on there. Just kinda Michigan. Do the same with the other. Down. This smash be more
of the mountain. We want to take this one. It gets smaller and we want to stick those
ears right on there. I'm just in the back. I'm going to connect
those is right. This one because the
myelin chocolates, the right consistency
I was able to do without the spaghetti. Now, we want to pit
the face on the face. We have the nose with a
muzzle, I should say. So we want to make
a round circle, flatten it out,
make it round down. They're going to pick
up muscle once a time. I'm going to help make it
more the shape that I'm. Now we're going to take this, which is the nose and we will that Laval and she's down
that trying to shape. Look and see. There's that knows not going to take just
a little bit more yellow. We're letting the ball and
make it into a sausage, necessarily want to
pay very little piece, flatten it, then stick
that up there above. Well, this is like this. I'm gonna go ahead
and draw this line down through the mouth. So they're rehab that part. The tiger has these
little whiskers along the side of his face. I'm going to take
two little balls, roll it out in a
sausage flatMap, and then make it
a crescent shape. We also want to say
about that lung. So let's do the same
with the other one. Let it evolve. Sausage can flatten it out and they don't want to
do that sausage longer. Christened it out. And then I'm going to, first I want to make sure
not sticking so I'm going to cut, cut, cut. So that I have my whisker
dewy things like their pet this right along the side of his face here,
curving like that. Going to do the
same with this one. Cut, cut, cut. And it's going to curve up this side. Once you have it on. If you cut so not good enough, you can cut them so that you really see a space
between the cuts. And there you have
those whiskers. Then we also wanna do
these little eyebrows. So we're gonna make a little
ball, flatten it out. I kind of wanted
that triangle shape. And then this is going
to go right off the ear. Another one right here, on the other side. Flattened. Get that triangle. This right off here. Let me look and see. These ears needs to
be further back. So let me move those
ears further back. These can be like
right there where the ears were because we have
to have room for the eyes. Let's do our eyes this way. We can make sure the eyes
are right here, right here. The size of that one,
this one's too big. And off this one smaller. This one's good. This one over here was not good. So I want to make this
one a little bit smaller. Just put it right here. Kind of like the
eyebrows above the eyes. So I get to stick, I can try to get the triangle shape a little bit
closer to the eyes. I'm going to move this
ear backup a little bit. All we have left
is to do the legs, the tail and the
stripes with the legs. A little bit. The center cylinder I, this is the way I
prefer to do it. Cut it in half. Cut it in half again. Cut it in half again. Then we're going to
roll this and a ball. Then the tear shape. Then this is going
to go right there. Tear shape to shape two shape. And now we're going to do
the Taylor with this tail. We're just kinda break
some off the ball tube. Then I'm going to cut
some of that off. Before I touch this, I'm going to take
some black and then I roll it very, very thin. Then I'm going to wrap
it around the towel and I'm going to do the same thing again and wrap that around. We're going to put our
tail and the body. Now we want to add the
stripes to the tiger first, which is going to take some
black and we want to roll this out very thin,
very, very thin. We're going to cut a
little piece here. Then a little bit longer piece. So I'm going to do a shorter
piece between the ears. Then a longer piece as I go down the middle piece right here. So long as leg. Another piece of lung is
like pizza. One is leg. Another piece longest leg. You see how it doesn't
take a whole lot to do it, but it does take some
patients do the back legs. Now, I'm going to do a few
more stripes on the side. Just can you strike another
stroke coming from this side? On the back? You might not be able to see it. So let me turn it so you can
see it is Tell came off. We'll put that back on a minute. So you can see here we've got the back going to
put that back on. Actually going to use a piece of spaghetti that tell
really did not want to stay on this in the
towel and then stick to his body and then
just bring this tells us now I'm going to do it just a little bit more
work on his face. So I'm going to turn
sideways so I can see that hopefully you
can see because it's really hard to
do it from behind. So I wanted to do piece that comes along here
that's too thick. Let's keep making it skinnier. This to come along here. And then of course, we put it along the
side of the face, their piece here from the air going down
but not too long. So Another one offer here. I can't see what I'm doing. Some stickiness, my bills and coming down
there but not to one. And then one more
coming right there. And then I think we
will have he'd done. And here is our acute tiger. All good.
8. 08 The Zebra: We're ready to make our zebra. Now I see what we're gonna
do a little bit different. It's going to be what's
called a 5050 mix. So I have some modeling
chocolate right here and some gum
paste Stray here. And what I wanna do is I want
to just mix them together. And this is going to
make a more stable ball. So if you don't want to do
a 100% modeling chocolate, you could make a 5050 mic's still going to have
that sweet chocolate flavor, but it's gonna be a
little bit more stable. So with the zebra, I'm going to need the
white and the black. Black is also a 5050 mix. I made the black with the dark chocolate
instead of the white, so it would be more intense. Let's start making
our secret now. First I'm going to take
the white light bulb. And of course I want to make
this ball so that there are no wrinkles in it. I have some cornstarch here so that this moves
around better. So there's the body. Now I'm gonna do the leg. And the legs, roll
it in a bowl again. Then make it a cylinder. This way I can make the
legs all the same size. And I'm going to cut it in half. And then cut it in half again. Then I'm going to make each
one into its own ball. And after it's a ball, going to make it a
cone-shaped and cone shape. And cone shape. Now I'm going to
take the black and I want to make just
little balls that I can flatten out and stick
underneath that cone shape. Then that's ready to go
on there. Flattened out. Let's tick on the bottom. It just a little
bit of water on it. Now let the water,
not a whole lot, but I want it on
the piece that I'm adding in case too
much gets on there. And then stick that. When I stick these on, I want to smooth
them into the ball. They're sticking. When I picked this up. They stay attached. Let me get the last
two done quickly. And here we have the
body and the legs. Now we're going to take
another piece of black. We're going to make that face. And I'm just going to take
this bot and flatten it. I'm going to pet the top
two holes for his nose. Little slit down there. Then I get to take this
to this right here. Now we're gonna do, I'm
gonna need just to, if this off-white color
to put inside the ears. So first I want to make a fall and I want to
cut that bot in half. And then I want
to round the top. Those years are too big. This is almost perfect
size for both years, so, but doesn't have a ball
letting that tell sausage. Rounded top, little bit pointy, flat on the bottom,
flatten that out. Make it skinny. Same with this one. And I want to form
them next to each other so that I can make
sure they're the same size. And then I'm going to take
just a teeny tiny bit. One. See how little that is. Roll it in a bowl, flatten it, and then put it on the
inside right here. They show switch shape though. They could kind of a cylinder then flattened,
then stick it in. And just teeny-tiny bit. Make it a cylinder
and stick it in. Then we're going to stick them right up here
on top, that flat. I'm going to add just a
tiny bit of water to that. Most it is on a plant that
do the same with this one. Tiny bit of water. Turn this a little bit so
I can see these ears to be more moving these
ears or up on top. I'm going to take
this off because I'm looking at that and it's
just a little bit too big. So I wanted to take some
of this off of there. Were all this in a bowl, flatten it out
like I did before. I want to smile, which is good. Little nostril holes. Then put that on. That's a much better size. So here we have it so far. Now we're going to be
working with black. We're going to take a
piece about this size, roll it into a ball, make it into a
sausage, flatten it. And then I'm going
to go like this, this, this is the hair. So I'm making that mean. It's on the top of his head. I'm also going to
do it on this side. I want it on both sides. And then put this on top. I'm going to take this black. I want to make it
very, very thin. Start by doing. Can everyone kinda hard when you work with
such small pieces? Stick to my hand as much as
it was to stick to that. Let me get this. So there we have that. Now I'm going to
put little stripes. Legs like to on each leg. We're just doing
an approximation so it doesn't have
to be perfect. We want it to look like as
if we're when we're done. Then I'm going to do, to do is to roll out a
little bit more. Because I want this to go
around the fish like this. You'll see how that's
curving around there. I'm going to do one
on the other side. The same way. Is very skinny, long
and then put that on. Bring it around. There. We have the
front of it done. A little slip. They're
going the wrong way. We want them to be This way. This way. I want to get one
more long, the front. So it up here at the air
and going down side. It's right up on me. And going down. I want to put his
eyes on the right, kind of kind of like that's
an eyebrow except not really. His eyes are going to be right there. That's a
little bit too big. That ion the subsidy can see. You can see the front. Now we're gonna do the side, I'm on the side, we're just going to do
stripes down the side here. Another one. Office a little bit too
long, down like that. Then one more. Then
I'll do the other side. This one's just going to be
at the back of his main. You can see how that is. And then I'm going to
do this side. Also. We have left to do is to tell. And that's also going
to be with black. Rolling a ball. You get a cone shape. And then I want to do
little lines like this. And then I'm just
going to stick, this is cute. Little zebra. It is half-mile in chocolate
and half gum paste.
9. 09 Final Thoughts: Thank you for taking this class. We had fun making r cubed. Well, you learned how to
make the modeling chocolate. I taught you how to
make the elephants. We then make the hippopotamus. We made the lion, then we made the rhinoceros. We then moved on to the tiger. We finished up by
making our seagrass. I hope your animals turned out the way that
you wanted them to. Your project for this class is to make these wild animals. The recipe for the
modeling chocolate is in our project section. Please upload a picture
of your wild animals and tell us out which
ones did you like best? Which ones were kind of hard. I look forward to seeing your work from my
kitchen to your kitchen. Happy decorated.
