Cute Cadbury Cream Egg Clay Creations
This tutorial shows how to make a miniature chocolate piece and a Catberry Cream Egg from polymer clay. The finished set includes a broken-chocolate bar piece with texture and lettering, and a two‑half cream egg filled with a creamy center and a glossy yolk. Steps cover shaping, texturing, making a reusable mold from a baked half‑egg, forming the egg halves, creating the cream filling and yolk, baking stages, and final glazing.
Materials and tools
- Polymer clay (various colours and scrap clay)
- Knife / blade (X‑Acto knife)
- Pointed dotting tool (for pattern and writing)
- Ball or shaping tools (for forming the egg half and chocolate shaping)
- Roller or a way to roll out a sheet of clay (video: “roll out a sheet of clay”)
- Tools to cut off excess clay (blade/knife)
- TLS (used for cream filling; mixed with paint or pastel)
- Paint or pastel (to mix with TLS or to colour details)
- Fimo Deco Gel (used for the yolk; mixed with pastels)
- Pastels (for mixing and colour)
- Materials for mold-making (the baked half is used as the mold master)
- Glaze: satin glaze (for final seal) and glass glaze (for the cream filling)
- Baking setup (follow your clay’s baking instructions)
Make the chocolate piece
Step 1 — Prepare layered clay pieces
- Stack layers of clay to make two pieces:
- One piece made from three layers.
- One piece made from two layers.
- These stacked layers will form the chocolate bar look.
Step 2 — Cut and layer for a broken look
- Take the piece with two layers, cut the edges at an angle, and place it on top of the other (three‑layer) piece.
- Then cut two sides at an angle:
- One side straight down.
- One side crooked to imitate a piece broken off a bar of chocolate.
Step 3 — Add texture and lettering
- Use your knife (X‑Acto) to add texture across the chocolate surface to mimic chocolate squares and surface irregularities.
- Use a pointed dotting tool to write “catberry” (or your chosen lettering) on the chocolate surface.
- Once textured and lettered, the chocolate piece is ready to bake.
Make the Cream Egg halves
Step 1 — Form a half‑egg master
- Take some scrap clay and shape it into half of an egg (a shallow dome or half‑shell).
- Use a pointed dotting tool to make the decorative pattern on the half‑egg surface.
Step 2 — Bake and make a mold from the master
- Bake the decorated half‑egg (the video bakes it first).
- After baking and cooling, use the baked half‑egg as a mold master for making the matching egg halves.
Form the egg halves using the mold
Step 1 — Press clay into the mold for a half shell
- Roll out a sheet of clay to an even thickness.
- Press the sheet firmly into the baked half‑egg mold so the clay conforms to the shape.
- Cut off excess clay around the mold surface.
- Use your knife to trim and cut away any remaining clay pieces around the edge.
Step 2 — Pre‑bake and make the matching half
- Pre‑bake that half for a few minutes (as shown in the video).
- Use the same mold to make the other half of the egg:
- For the second half, you only need to fill out half the mold so the two halves will fit together.
Step 3 — Assemble and bake the two halves
- Press the second half on top of the first half so the egg encloses the cavity for the cream.
- Bake them for a few minutes to set the joined halves before adding the filling.
Create the cream filling and yolk
Step 1 — Make the cream filling
- Use TLS and mix it with paint (or with pastel) to make the cream-coloured filling.
- Fill the egg cavity with the TLS mixture as the creamy interior.
Step 2 — Make the yolk
- Mix Fimo Deco Gel with pastels to make the yolk color and translucency.
- Place the yolk mixture on top of the cream filling where desired.
Final baking and sealing
Step 1 — Bake to set fillings and final join
- After filling the egg and positioning the yolk, bake the assembled piece so the TLS filling and Deco Gel yolk set.
Step 2 — Glaze and finish
- Seal everything with a satin glaze for an overall finish.
- Use glass glaze specifically for the cream filling area to give that part a glossy, wet look.
- Allow glazes to dry fully before handling.
Important notes and tips
- The baked half‑egg serves as a convenient reusable mold for consistent halves.
- You can mix TLS with paint or pastel for colour; either works.
- The creator preferred Fimo Deco Gel for the yolk because it gives a more translucent look.
- Seal the whole piece with satin glaze, and use glass glaze on the cream filling for a glossy effect.
