Hope you enjoy this one! If you have any questions, ask away! If you decide to make one and post pictures on dA, please post a link to my tutorial in the Artist's Comments and send me a link so I can see!! ^^

*whew* Goodness, this one took a little longer than expected, not to mention it took like 10 minutes to upload.

Ok, so, *ahem* This is a Milkshake/Hot Fudge Sundae/Translucent Liquid Sculpey/Faux Glass Tutorial. Pretty amazing, huh? Anywho.

There are two glass techniques: Simply applying a thick layer of glaze after you bake your charm, or the technique showed with the Sundae (wrapping with a thin layer of translucent clay), which can be used for the Milkshake, if you'd like.

The TLS technique is identical to the technique I use for frosting cupcakes.

Another little tip that you might learn from this tutorial is baking separate pieces and then putting them together. Applying the whipped cream to the Milkshake before you bake it is very difficult, and you'll probably end up smudging the details. Same with applying frosting to cupcakes.
Freezing the milkshake/cupcake before detailing (i.e., giving cake a realistic texture, or making the lines on a milkshake) can help keep you from smudging one side while your working on another.

Rubbing alcohol is your best friend when it comes to TLS. Simply soak an old rag with rubbing alcohol and wipe down any TLS you may have spilt on the table, floor, counters, etc.

Please, please, please, please, please don't comment to correct any spelling/grammar mistakes that I made. The text boxes wouldn't let me change any text after I clicked outside of the box, so I couldn't go back and fix anything, even if I wanted to.

Also, I apologize if the text is difficult to read...
