The shelves in Gastronomia Furlan have 14 trays to fill with bread, and these poppy seed kaiser rolls are the first type I’ve made. I started with a color mix of Fimo vanilla, Fimo Soft sahara, Premo white, and translucent. After forming the balls, I used a toothbrush, needle tool, and crumpled aluminum foil for texture. Next, I shaded the rolls with soft pastels for a golden-brown baked effect.
After baking, I applied some TLS (translucent liquid Sculpey) to the top surfaces and dipped them in black sand to imitate poppy seeds.
After a second bake, I sealed the rolls with Helmar Crystal Kote Matte spray varnish, so that the pastels and sand wouldn’t rub off. Here’s a closeup of one of the rolls.
I’m so happy with how the bread looks on the shelf!
