Kuhinjica - Kako sam napravila iglo i pingvinčiće

Uspela sam koliko toliko da slikam postupak pravljenja. Nisam uspela sve zato što su mi skoro dva dana ruke bile ubazane sa raznim bojama i prosto mi je bilo žao aparata da ga uzmem u ruke, jer i onako je skoro non stop umazan sa brašnom :lol:
Ovo je moj prvi susret i rad sa gum pastom,ako ne računam one cvetiće sa moje rođendanske torte. Mada se gum pasta u većini slučajeva koristi za cvetove,listiće i druge slične stvari, jer može odlično da se rastanji, ja sam je iskoristila za iglo i pingvine. Možete je naručiti kod Eurowilta,pakovanja su od 250 gr. Inače,meni je samo za iglo otišlo jedno pakovanje,a za pingvine drugo.
Kada sam krenula da pravim iglo,odmah sam se našla u dilemi koju činiju da iskoristim za njega i naravno ko po običaju ni jedna nije odgovarala. Ili su bile male ili velike ili im oblik baš nije bio odgovarajući i tako na kraju kada sam već počela da gubim nadu setila sam se dečje lopte letos kupljene na odmoru :)
Uzela sam jednu manju činiju kao postolje,loptu ubacila u nju, a onda je premazala sa uljem.

Tu sam se malo prevarila, jer se pasta na par mesta zalepila za loptu,pa sam morala da zovem muža u pomoć da ispumpamo loptu kada sam htela da skinem iglo. Znači,obavezno loptu obložite sa aluminijumskom folijom da vas ne boli glava kao mene :)
Pastu sam razvukla sa oklagijom (oko 25 cm ),prebacila preko lopte i rukama je malo oblikovala.

Sa čašom sam ocrtala prvi krug,najmanji. Za svaki sledeći krug koristila sam činije različitih veličina. Poprečne linije sam radila sa koncem.

Sa nožem sam isekla krajeve koji su bili višak i izravnjala sam koliko toliko. Tunel za iglo je bilo već lakše napraviti i mislim da za njega i ne treba neka posebna priča. Oklagija je odlično poslužila za njega :)

Sa bisernom bojom za kolače sam premazala iglo i ostavila na stranu da se suši.

Posle igla,krenula sam sa pingvinima. Svaki trup od pingvina je bio težak 16 gr,jer u želji da mi svi budu iste veličine,merila sam na vagicu. Trup je u obliku valjka,samo su ivice bile blago zaobljene. manji deo paste sam obojila naranđasto,napravila nogice. Na mestu gde se nogice lepe za trup sam sa četkicom nanela malo vode da bi se lakše zalepile. Od bele mase sam napravila krila,otprilike u obliku suze.
Glava od pingvina je bila veličina klikera. Tela a i glave sam stavila na čačkalicu, a onda te iste čačkalice zabola u stiropor koji mi je kasnije odlično poslužio.
Crnu prehrambenu boju u prahu sam rastovorila u vrlo malo vruće vode. Sa četkicom sam obojila krila i glavu i ostavila da se suši boja.

Napravila sam oči,kljun,kape,šalove...... i polako počela da kompletiram pingvinčiće.

Želela sam da se svi razlikuju i da imaju po neki interesantan detalj na sebi i mislim da sam uspela u tome :)

Viktorijino ime tj. slova su bila od čokolade. Ako se sećate divnog i praktičnog poklona od moje Secret Sante (Ivana hvala),tu su bili i razni kalupi, a među njima i za slova,tako da sam otopila čokoladu,izlila u kalupe i kroz minut već imala divna čokoladna slova.

Ovom prilikom želim da se zahvalim Grozdanki kod koje sam videla pingvinčiće.

How I made igloo and penguins

I managed to make photos of a process for this cake. I didn’t manage to get all of them since my hands were colored from all different colors I used during preparation that I felt bad for camera to place it in my hands.

This is my first work with gum paste, if I don’t count the flowers I did for my birthday cakes. Since gum paste is ideal for making flowers, leaves and other decorations, since it can be thinned perfectly, I used it to make igloo and penguins. You may order pack of it (250 gr) from Eurowilton. For me one pack went into making igloo and the other for making penguins. When I started to make igloo I had a big problem trying to find a perfect bowl. Either they were too big or too small till I remembered kids ball that we bought on our vacation last summer. I used smaller bowl, placed a ball in it and coated with oil. This got tricky since gum paste got stuck on the ball, and I had to call my husband to deflate the ball so that I could remove the igloo. So I highly recommend for you to wrap ball before hand with aluminum foil before placing paste. I rolled paste with rolling pin (around 25 cm in size), threw it over the ball and shaped it a bit with my hands.

With glass I marked first smallest circle. For all others I was using bowls different sizes. Vertical lines I made with help of a thread.

With knife I cut the excess of the paste and evened it out as much as I could. Tunnel for igloo was so much easier to make. Rolling pin did the job perfectly.

With silver shimmering color I brushed over finished igloo and placed it aside to dry.

Once I was done with igloo I started working on penguins. The body of the penguin was 16 gr in weight , since I wanted all of them to be the same I measured and weighted each one.The body was in shape of a tube, only egdes were slightly round. Smaller pieace of paste I colored orange and made feet. Before sticking legs onto body I brushed them with some water so it would stick better. From white mass I made wings in shape of a tear.

Head of pingving was in size of a marble . I placed head and body on a toothpick and I sticked them into styrofoam which served me wonderfully later. I dissolved black powdered color into little bit of hot water. With brush I colored wings and head and set it aside to dry.

I also made eyes, beak, scarves….. and slowly started to complete and form penguins. I wanted them to differ a bit so I made an interesting detail on them and I think I accomplished that well.

The letters were made of chocolate. I got a letter mold from my secret santa , so I just melted some chocolate, poured it into molds , and within a minute I hade amazing chocolate letter.
