Gumpaste Poker Chip Tutorial
Thursday, July 29th, 2010For all of you poker lovers……
Materials
Gum paste (red, blue)
Small rolling pin
2 circle cutters with a ¼” difference in diameter.
Paint brush
Black gel food coloring
Lightly dust your work surface with confectioner’s sugar and then roll your red or blue gum paste to 1/8” thick. Use your larger circle cutter to cut out your poker chips and then make a slight impression with your smaller circle cutter in the center of each of your poker chips.
Finally, paint the lines and numbers on each chip using black gel food coloring. You can also pipe the numbers with royal icing if you prefer.

I used the Wilton mini bear pan along with star tips to pipe the bear and create the shell border. ****Tip*****In order to make the eyes, nose, ears, etc smooth dip your finger in corn starch and pat down the buttercream icing. See my post on how to smooth out buttercream on cakes and you too will learn how to get this polished look.
