How to make royal icing letters for cakes, cupcakes and cookies! Materials needed: ![]() One easy way is by pre-piping royal icing and later placing them on your cake. After letting most of the bubbles pop, I flipped my bowl over and repeated the process on the other side.There are so many cool ways to add names, messages or ages to all kinds of creations. I let them land as they may onto and around my bowl, which I had placed inside an aluminum tray. After mixing my liquid concoction thoroughly, I started creating bubbles by blowing into the mixture through a straw, letting the bubbles pour out of the cup. After researching a bit online about how to create good bubbles, I mixed equal parts underglaze, water and dish detergent. The bowl I used was dry, but quite fragile, as it had not yet undergone a bisque firing. ![]() Just like a glaze, the colour you paint on is not necessarily the colour that appears once all is said and done.įor my first ‘bubbling’ experience, I chose to go basic, and bubble a wheel-thrown bowl in blue. It can withstand the powerful heat of a kiln, and undergoes a bit of a chemical reaction from being painted on to final glaze firing. Bubbling With UnderglazeĪs I mentioned above, underglaze is a special type of paint that is used to decorate pottery. I can’t tell you which is the better option, just what I have done personally. I underglaze before my pottery is bisque fired, but I have seen others paint after initial firing as well. Instead of bubbling with actual glaze, you can also bubble with underglaze! Underglaze is a type of paint that is used on pottery. Thankfully, there is more than one way to do things. A light coat of bubbled glaze would disappear! This type if bubbling doesn’t work for my purposes, as the glazes we use need to be thickly coated on for the colours to appear. The bubbling process doesn’t adequately cover the piece with glaze, so either and under or over coat is necessary. Many take a bisque fired piece of pottery, dip it in white glaze, then mix another glaze colour with dish soap, and bubble! Others bubble glaze first on the bisque-ware then cover with a clear glaze. I’m including links at the end of this post to blogs and articles from successful ‘bubblers’, should you want to learn more. ![]() I’m sure there are more ways to do this technique than I am sharing today. I am by NO MEANS an expert in glazes, so please don’t take my commentss as the end all and be all. The way in which you could do so would depend heavily on the types of glazes you have available. Types of Glazingįrom looking at images on Instagram and reading a variety of articles online, I quickly learned that there were several ways in which one could ‘bubble’ their work. I don’t remember the exact post or artist, but I do remember saying to myself ‘wow, this is really cool, I want to do this.’ I then headed down into the abyss of bubble glazing picture by following the hashtag #bubbleglazing on Instagram. I first was introduced to bubble glazing when perusing Instagram, going through different pottery related hashtags.
