MACARONI AND CHEESE CASSEROLE
Tools and Materials
Fimo --- transparent, ochre
Great-Tex Texturizing Glass Stain --
white and yellow
Paper cup and stirring stick
Bread crumbs (made by tinting Cream
of Farina with amber glass stain)
Glass stain --- amber
Cream of Farina
X-Acto knife
Casserole dish
For macaroni, knead just a touch of ochre Fimo into transparent Fimo. Roll a very thin snake on a flat surface about the diameter of thick pencil lead. Cut tiny pieces about 1/4 inch long with X-Acto knife and curve each slightly before dropping into baking pan. Make as many as needed to fill your casserole. Bake in oven at 200 to 250 degrees for 10 minutes. Let cool.
Squeeze a 1 inch globe of white Great-Tex Glass Stain into a paper cup and tint it with a little yellow stain to obtain a cheese sauce color. Sprinkle macaroni into this mixture and stir until well coated. While macaroni is still wet, fill miniature casserole dish and sprinkle with "bread crumbs" if desired. Allow to dry overnight. The stain will act as an adhesive plus give the look of cheese sauce.
