Simple method of making food with light clay

Common zongzi, steamed stuffed bun, jiaozi, moon cakes, etc. Can be made of clay color.

Zongzi is the festival food of Dragon Boat Festival. You can make a cartoon zongzi with clay color. Make a triangle with white mud first, and brush the rough surface with a waste toothbrush. Make a ball with green mud, press out irregular strips and draw lines. This is Zongye.

Wrapping meat with zongzi leaves is like wearing a dress. In order to increase cuteness, you can add eyes and red cheeks.

Another way to make zongzi is to make the leaves of zongzi with black colored mud, make the black colored mud into a rectangle, and then put zongzi meat on it like this. Add eyes and mouth, and the lovely seaweed zongzi is finished.

Making moon cakes with colored mud can confuse the fake with the real. Powder mud is used to make strawberry stuffing for moon cakes, and light yellow mud is used to make dough for moon cakes. Pink and light yellow mud is made into a disk, and then made into strips with light yellow.

Clamp the pink wafer with a pale yellow wafer, wrap the side with a pale yellow strip, cut off the redundant part, press the side with a tool to make a vertical line, and stamp many dots on the front and back sides of the moon cake.

Cut the moon cake to reveal the stuffing inside. Poke the exposed stuffing to make the lines more realistic, that is, moon cakes filled with strawberries.
