This
week I thought it might be nice to do another food tutorial since it
has been a while since we have done one. And since the weather here
where I live has definitely been winter I thought it should be some
kind of comfort food. Grilled cheese sandwiches always fit that
definition so here we are.
I
am using the bread from a past tutorial which you can find here.
Since it has been sitting for a couple of months since I last used it
and it has been cold here I didn't need to chill or freeze it in
order to slice it. If that isn't the case for your bread cane go
ahead and chill it.
We
are basically doing the same texturing we did for the toast a while
back and a similar coloring too. I think this is just a bit more on
the golden side.
For
the solid layer of cheese I used a blend of orange and yellow to give
a good cheese color. It doesn't have to be perfect though the coat of
liquid clay will make the color correct.
For
the liquid clay I decided to use my Kato liquid rather than TLS
(Translucent Liquid Sculpey) I wanted the more translucent nature of
the Kato product as well as the shine that it has. Any liquid clay
would be fine for this.
To
color the liquid clay use oil paint, I just have a really cheap set
(under $10) from the craft store. I used Vermillion Red and Lemon
Yellow with a touch of Yellow Ocher. If I was doing it again I would
leave out the yellow orcher, it was too brown and I had to add a lot
more of the lemon yellow to get back to a good color.
Since
I am using liquid clay I am baking on a ceramic tile. It is just too
hard to get the drips of liquid clay off the paper plate without
having paper fibers stuck to the drips. I want to leave the drips
since they really add to the sandwich. The tile I am using is just
one from Home Depot, the kind you would use on a kitchen counter. It
is around 6” square.
I
hope you enjoyed the tutorial today. Thanks for stopping by and I
look forward to having you stop by again.
