If you wish to post it on a website for resources, just ask. It's not hard.
Be sure to provide a link to my DA gallery as well.If you want to know why I didn't put a ":3" face on it, because the tutorial it's self was long enough. x3!
[ Edit ] WOW! Thanks so much for the favs/views/comments everyone! I didn't think this tutorial was that great since it's pretty basic and I have better ways to make my cupcakes. Oh well!

ha. i use sculpey... but it doesn't work. the first time, i didn't paint it, and it just looks like CRAP. then the second time, i drew on the faces before i glossed it, and the faces bled. then just today, i burnt it.

Well, I use sculpey as well. What was your process exactly? Maybe I tell help and tell you what you did wrong.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
okay, so this time i just burnt them... pretty understandable. it got covered up when i painted them. i haven't finished them yet, though, so we'll see how they turn out.
but last time, the problem was that i drew on faces with a kind of marker because it was so small i didn't want to try to paint it. and then i put on that lacquer-ey stuff, you know, to make it shiney and not dull. and the faces ran, even though the marker SAID waterproof. and then... i tried a couple things, but i've kind of given up on that batch. but i did just keep one unlaquered and the face STILL smudged. so i guess it was just the marker... i'll be painting on the faces this time. experience is hard.

Well, for small charms I bake it at 275 degrees for 15 minutes.
What kind of lacquer? The chemicals in it might reacted to the marker. Have you tried the Sculpey Gloss Glaze? Or a Floor Varnish?
I don't use a marker regardless for faces. I painstakingly use a fiiine paint brush and black acrylic paint.
I hear sharpie markers work, but I've never used them.

it's a sculpey glaze, so, you know, kind of disappointing. but i guess it was just the marker. maybe i'll try sharpie on one that i don't care about as much. thanks!

I have a question!!!
When you swirl on the icing, won't it make a air chamber inside it and then make the cupcake pop? >:
That's what I'm afraid of, lol. XD;
