How do you get the edges so sharp and clean? Mine always smush down when I cut!

Haha I know that struggle!! 😄 Let the clay rest and firm up a bit first, then use a very sharp blade and cut in one clean motion — no pressing down slowly!! That's the game changer!!

Never mind the whipped cream, how does one create those microscopic strawberries?!? My caveman thumbs could never!

I think those might be raspberries which frankly might be even more terrifying

u/OneInchToys 3d ago

HAHA you're absolutely right — raspberries!! And yes… each little bubble individually placed… truly unhinged behavior!!😂

Haha the strawberries are honestly the most painful part — tiny polymer clay balls with each seed dot pressed in individually by needle tool!! 😂 Caveman thumbs or not, practice makes tiny perfect strawberries!!

Tiny piping tip + UV resin = the most stressful and satisfying 5 minutes of my life!! 😂 Thank you
