Tutorial with IGMA Fellow Linda Cummings

CDHM artisan and IGMA Fellow Linda Cummings shows you a how-to on making 1:12 scale cream horn pastries for your dollhouse

Step 18

Use just enough cornflour to ensure that the acrylic keeps its shape... too much and the mix will be too stiff to pipe into the horn and may well crack when dry! I often add the tiniest touch of yellow ochre to this mix to take the edge off the whiteness... but that is optional!

Step 19

Put this mix into your prepared icing bag and wrap in wet kitchen paper until you are ready to use it.

NOTE
If you don’t use all this cream mix, if you wrap it in wet kitchen roll and store it in a plastic sealed bag, it will remain useable for several months!

Step 20

When the horns are baked, but still warm, gently pull out the "form" by gently twisting and pulling. Be careful not to put any pressure on the curved end of the horn in case you inadvertently snap it!
