DECOTTI (a kit of clay sweets) tutorial

It’s been a long time since my first experience of making DECOTTI and I shared the video in my blogpost. I actually bought some DECOTTI kits cheaper from Rakuten, or the most famous online mall in Japan (The red banner in Japanese which you can find at the sidebar of this blog is the one.) and so I still have DECOTTI tarte even after I finished making macaroon and cupcake! ^ ^ hahaha…
Here’s the video that shows the process of my making DECOTTI cupcake and my English instructions from Japanese manual.
-It had more decorations. I had enough rhinestones (swarovski -looking stones) for 2 macaroons.
-It came with entire accessory parts, meaning, we don’t have to search and buy straps or keyrings to get connected with the metal parts later.
A few days later, they are completely dry.
BTW, it’s too obvious to tell you but, don’t eat them! They are not edible!! Keep them away from small children. Let me also share with you what I can read from Japanese instruction manual.
-DECOTTI has a qualifying age as “over 15″. Yes, this is designed for adults.
-Do it in a ventilated place, but stop it if you feel sick.
-While making DECOTTI, be careful not to let the cream into your eyes. In case that happened, wash it off by running water for over 15 minutes.
-Do not leave your skin with the cream on. If it’s on your skin, wipe it off and wash off by water.
-Do not let DECOTTI wet while you make them.
-Do not use dryer to dry DECOTTI. Dry them naturally for 2-3 days.
-Be careful not to put the cream on your clothes. Once it’s on, it’s impossible to get it off.
-The cream is exclusive to DECOTTI. If you use it for something else, it may not be adhesive enough.
-Do not leave the cream. Use it up.
Well…I already ignore the last two cautions. I have kept the cream (the filler) and I am using it for my own decorations. :p You know, you take full responsibility for your actions.

Thank you for your comment, Cherry. I think I remember you, but there are so many comments and emails exchanged daily, my memory sometimes cannot catch up…^ ^; You can take your time, and whenever you feel like writing to me, please do that. I'll be looking forward to your email.

That is so cute! I love Decotti, but I can never buy it because it is too much for me….
Lucky my sister's boyfriend bought me one whip cream Decotti when he went to Japan :3 Watching you makes me want to go open it up and use it!

I think that the most expensive parts of DECOTTI is the "cream", I mean the filler. Do use it wisely. Usually the cream is left even after your practice and decoration over the objects. So I recommend you prepare something to decorate with the cream after you are finished with making DECOTTI. Anyway, I have prepared video for this, which will be available soon, so please watch it.

I will look forward to your video!
I have fimo and sculpey clay at my house, so I can make my own macaron or cupcake to decorate, but it is heavy compared to the mousse clay…

Thank you. ^ ^
I saw them at Kiddy Land (http://tokyokawaiietc.com/archives/2142) in Harajuku long time ago. Also you may want to check out toy stores, or Tokyu Hands(http://www.tokyu-hands.co.jp/) anywhere.
But you can also shop from Japan thru Rakuten even after you go back home. (There is a red banner in Japanese on the sidebar of this blog. That's it.)

So expensive there? In Japan it's also about USD30.

I think there are many clay sweets books published. Do you have Kinokuniya (Japanese book store) out there?

Check out Kiddyland Harajuku (http://tokyokawaiietc.com/archives/2142) and Tokyu Hands Shibuya (http://tokyokawaiietc.com/archives/4909). What do you mean by "where do you decorate those fake cookies?" I'd say at my house?
