The time has come to make another baking scene! Here are the instructions if you purchased a kit from me, or would like to try this yourself!
Brownie Baking Scene
The base may have a hole and writing on it. Just cover them with an item, no one else will know!
Cut out the printables that you want to use, fold and glue. You have a choice of using the brownie mix box
and milk, or go all out and use flour, baking soda, sugar, and butter! Be sure to leave some flaps for
gluing, not all the items have clearly defined flaps.
You can also use packing tape on the milk to make it more realistic. White glue still works on top of
the packing tape when gluing.
There are 2 books you can make, with plenty of book covers to choose from. Sand the straw piece on each
end to make it flat.
To make a spatula Cut the small piece of thick foil (from a tea light) using the cardstock template,
cutting slits where indicated.
Fold (in half) along dotted line. open it again, Place pointy end of toothpick between the foil, and bend
shorter end of foil around toothpick. The other side is folded around the first.
Use a black sharpie to make lines on foil to make it look like a spatula.
Tea towel / kitchen cloth: You can use the gingham cloth as is, or glue or sew a hem. There is a
cardstock rectangle to help you either glue or sew, which is slightly smaller than the fabric. You can
iron it around the template to make a crisp fold.
Sewing is quick and easy, just use thread close to the colour so it blends into the fabric.
Baked Brownies: Take your foam pieces, cut them if desired into squares with an xacto knife and
steel ruler. You have a choice between white foam or black foam. (insulation foam found in an insulation kit for windows)
Apply masking tape to the tongue depresser, so sticky side is up, and stick your brownies
on it leaving space around each one to paint.
Icing: Use lighter brown acrylic paint and white glue for your chocolate icing. Paint this on the top of
brownies.
Sprinkles or nuts: While your icing is still wet, add sprinkles or chopped up nuts (piece of tan clay in
bag with sprinkles. Simply chop up the clay with knife to make “nut pieces”. Glaze can be applied after
it has dried for more shine.
Batter: Mix the remaining ½ drywall powder with 2 or 3 drops glue, and 2 or 3 drops dark brown acrylic
paint.
Try to make it the consistency of batter. Put it in the bowl, cut and place the fancy wooden stick in the
batter (it will appear to be a wooden spoon when it's stuck in the icing). For extra shine, use a glaze after
it is dried.
Make eggs from the white clay and small amount of yellow clay. (roll into balls and pinch slightly on
one end to form an egg shape) Bake your clay items for a maximum of 10 minutes in a 275 oven.
Cooking oil: Add a very tiny drop of yellow food colouring to either distilled water or glycerin
to the now empty oil bottle.
Mix. Glue the top on the oil jar. Cut out and glue on an oil label.
Oven mitt: Place the mitt template on the wrong side of fabric and trace out the shape.
Flip the template over, and trace again.
(optional: use needle and some thread to embellish your oven mitt)
Cut out the mitts, and apply a small amount of glue along the inside edges. Put the mitt together
and press gently.
After it is dry, glue or sew rikrack along bottom (wrist).
Arrange all items on board, and when you're happy, glue it in place. Have fun arranging your scene.
