Oven Bake Clay Pumpkin Pie

A mixed media pumpkin pie topped with realistic looking whipping cream.

Step-by-Step paper mache and oven baked clay pumpkin pie desserts.

       This mixed media, doll sized pumpkin pie is crafted with both Sculpey clay and paper mache pulp. It is the most realistic looking pumpkin pie in our food craft collection.

Supply List:

• Sculpey (oven bake clay)
• acrylic paints: yellow, orange red, green, brown and white
• tin foil
• gold cupcake liners
• muffin tin
• wax paper
• rolling pin or glass
• paper mache pulp
• toothpick
• butter knife
• Mod Podge

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Roll out a 'crust' using Sculpey oven bake clay. When doing this, sandwich the clay between two sheets of wax paper in order to protect all the surfaces from the clay.
2. Prep the muffin tin by crushing tin foil into the bottom of the muffin opening. Even doll sized muffin tins may be a bit deep for an 18" doll pie so adding this foil will ensure that your doll's pie crust is shallow enough.
3. Shape the oven bake clay into both a large pie crust shape and also smaller individual pie servings for doll play. Bake all of these for five minutes in the oven at 275 degrees, or as the manufacturer suggests on the clay packaging. 
4. After your clay has hardened and cooled to the touch, mix the paper mache pulp according to the directions on the package. Fill the pie crusts and let the pulp dry. 
5. You can also sculpt tiny whipped cream peaks from the clay and attach these to the pulp filling with a bit of glue. Paint the crusts with tan shades of acrylic paint, the pumpkin filling with orange colors and the whip cream tops with creamy white paint colors.
6. Serve up this popular, festive dessert to all of your hungry dolls this coming Thanksgiving or Christmas. Use your doll's best china and linens too!
