We all have a child inside of us, we also have a heart full of dreams. Yesterday, my younger brother graduated from medical school, an important moment for him and for us, his family. I wanted a chocolate cake, we bought a very rich one and decorated it with cold porcelain. Iroman, the iron man, is a superhero loved by my brother (I prefer the Hulk, because I turn green when something angers me), so I did it with a stethoscope and a white coat. It was a pleasant surprise for him.

This is the result of a few days of work, is made of cold porcelain that is a mixture of wheat flour, white glue and vinegar, in the market you get at very good prices. This white mass is like plasticine, you can give it the shape you want and after many hours it will become rigid. You have the option to dye it with oil paintings before making the figure, I usually work in white and I painted it, because when it dries, the colors of the paintings change and become clearer.

These sticks are also necessary with different tips, some crushed, others pointed, some round, among others. They are used to help form the cold porcelain mass, because our hands are large for some small structures.

The first thing we do is divide the cold porcelain mass into the portions we need and according to the sizes. In this way, we will extract the proportions of the figures so that there is no large head with a miniature body.

We begin to shape, when they are figures of human body, the best thing is to work the pieces separately and join them with the chopsticks. It is important to put white glue on the sticks to prevent them from falling once they are dry. I take this opportunity to tell you that when the cold porcelain dries, its size decreases. Here we have trunk, legs and head.

We join the pieces: trunk, head and legs.

We put the arms to the previous figure. The parts are also joined with toothpicks and glue.

Now we make our hands and put them in the figure.

We make a stethoscope and put it in the figure.

Recomendaciones:

• El tiempo de secado depende del tamaño de la figura y del clima.
• Es importante en los pies, insertar palos para pincho, para que una vez este seco se pueda sostener en el pastel.
• se debe revisar que no queden grietas en la figura, porque cuando se seque, estas grietas se van a ver más grandes y feas.
• Si tienes mascota, ubica la figura en un lugar alto, porque podrían pisarla, dañarla y no deseo ver tus lágrimas.

Let dry for approximately 36-48 hours

Recommendations:

• The drying time depends on the size of the figure and the weather.
• It is important to insert thicker sticks on the feet, so that once they are dry, these sticks are embedded in the cake so that the figure does not fall.
• You should verify that there are no cracks in the figure, because when it dries, these cracks will look bigger and uglier.
• Do not cry if your pet steps on the figure, so put it in a high place.

To paint we can use water or oil based paint. I prefer the oil base because less layers of paint are needed. It is best to start with the red parts that cover the largest surface.

Now the golden parts are painted.

Finalmente se pinta el estetoscopio y los pequeños detalles, como los detalles de la bata entre otros.

Finally they paint the stethoscope and the small details, like the details of the dressing gown among others.
