I noticed some leftover butter cream in the fridge.. I thought of throwing it away, but then decided to use it to practice on my clowns. You need to buy the clown heads which are quite cheap, about RM2.50 a packet. (Maybe 10 heads, I didn’t count). These are made of plastic.

The tip I’m using for the body is the star tip.

Here are some ways to decorate your cake using these clown heads. Just to get an idea. You can perfect the strokes as you practice.

Quite difficult to make a sitting clown, maybe there is a technique which I don’t know. Appreciate some tips if you know how.

There’s also some ready made balloon which you can buy to match with these clowns. Shop around at your local bakery supply store. This decorating technique is very handy for children’s cake. Everybody loves a clown.

“Though the clown is often deadpan, he is a connoisseur of laughter.” (Mel Gussow)

Hope this clown will bring laughter to our children.
