NO MOLD Cupcake Base│Polymer Clay Tutorial (Updated)

Hi everyone! Watch in HD :)
Today I have a new and updated tutorial showing you how to make a cupcake base without a mold! I made one of these videos in 2014 and I thought I would make a better and improved version. I know a lot of beginners can find it challenging to make that perfect cupcake base and don't own a mold, so I hope this helps you in some way! Just remember to keep practising, especially if you don't get it "perfect" straight away :)

You can use a toothpaste cap.

[@MeganWeller]

Thank you for this, I have been wanting to make a cupcake mold but I don't have any toothpaste caps like the ones some people use (mine all have a different cap)

[@butterflies30231]

Same I love your videos 🙂☺️

[@humeyraakyol5402]

Yay! Thank you a lot for the tutorial, this was what I needed! I don't have a mold so I tried to do without and it was looking so bad.😅 I love your videos, so successful! Thank you again!!!😄

[@goldenberry494]

“Rachel’s amazing cupcake diagram:” Me:LOL 😂 😆 😝

[@cookieschik]

so much ice cream ^ _ ^

[@creativerachy]

There is literally no ice cream in this video lol

[@saniberri]

Creative Rachy in your freezer!

[@creativerachy]

Ohhhhh yeah haha my mistake, I thought you meant the charm and I'm like, but it's a cupcake XD

[@cookieschik]

:D

[@carap8629]

Yeah loads of vanilla!

[@embirlily]

I think it's great you did an update, people are always improving and if you come up with new techniques it's wonderful to share them. The freezer trick is a great idea to prevent it from warping. I need to grip a tad too hard still so whenever I try to make cupcakes I mess up the bases.

[@AnanyaShetty_]

"Rachel's amazing cupcake base diagram!!" lol :-D

[@hamsinivinnakota1970]

This tutorial helped a lot i couldn’t find any cupcake molds so I decided to make my own and this video was very helpful :)

[@gamingbunny9752]

the no mold looks better! ^-^

[@charleytullos8966]

I know right! she's amazing ;)

[@PastelSweets]

Thank you for this video! I still need to get a proper cupcake base mold because mine is a little big compaired to the 14mm one, so this video helped a lot :D

[@strowbrrie]

do you always put clay in the freezer? Just asking : )

[@strowbrrie]

BTW, I saw a lot of ice cream in the freezer...OuO

[@mollysministuff]

It's best to do after you've worked with it for too long and it's soft / sticky, if you're cutting a cane or something that you want to keep perfect shape, or getting something out of a mold that's too stiff.

[@olekimarcin]

When I put mine in the freezer I was like "JELLY BREAK!!!"😎😎😎😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 P.s: I love your videos but I'm bad😂😣😏 😇

[@lpsdanica6484]

Your so close to 10,000!!! Congrats! Your amazingly talented!

[@laurasdigitaldiary]

Omg thanks soo much for this vid. I really suck at making cupcake bases ♡

[@okuakimaiko]

Subscribed! Your tutorials are very helpful!

[@harinin7459]

All your videos are so inspiring and helpful for the beginners... How do you remove the finger prints? And what do you use as toppings in this video?

[@lauraw9622]

That circle trick is SO HELPFUL! Thank you so much for that tip!

[@mandarinorange2501]

i want to be in your videos.

[@claired2007]

This channel is so good, if only it was in French (my language)!

[@nasimanolova9993]

That was really helpful, I've been wanting to make cupcakes but I just never got the shape right because I don't have a mold, I hope soon I can make some. Also I have a question, do you know any alternatives for shading than chalk pastels, because they are extremely hard to find where I'm from?

[@anna-eq4kx]

Maybe Eye Shadow?

[@embirlily]

Eye shadow would work great or anything that has powder and pigment in it really. That's all chalk pastels are is powdered pigment crammed into a firm shape. You can use powder food colors as well. From what I know the powder food colors mix best with the liquid clay and that clear fimo stuff for colored drinks.

[@nasimanolova9993]

embirlily thanks for the tip😊

[@nasimanolova9993]

Caskadanna I will try it out

[@embirlily]

Nasi Manolova No problem! Every little tip helps.

[@storybookcrochet]

that ice cream looks good

[@mariagrazzias.h6421]

[@carap8629]

That was an amazing cup cake diagram 😂❤️👍

[@hi.rainbowz9039]

this tutorial helped me

[@samanthaalberts6796]

Great video! This was very helpful!

[@star-vk1wj]

Last time i was this early my house didnt smell so good! (Happy Thanksgiving everyone! And Rachy! If you do celebrate it that is. Idk if Aussies celebrate it) Also nice vid! Hopefully my cupcake will look as good!!!!!

[@star-vk1wj]

Also im getting the Sophie and Toffee clay (I was inspired by your review) and i was wondering can you mix glitter in it to color it? I want to make the galaxy clay you made :D

[@carlthecuck432]

HeyItzBrianna Why would Australians celebrate Thanksgiving? It's a day to commemorate a peaceful dinner which the American pilgrims decided to invite the American Indians to instead of killing them. Only people celebrating it here would be expatriate Americans.

[@Lena-ci3ti]

Could you please put the link where you bought the mold :)

[@creativerachy]

Just look up MiniatureSweet on google and the shop will come up :)

[@Lena-ci3ti]

thanks :) my dad will order it in a minute! Do you know how much does it take to arrive? 2 weeks or more?

[@mkl86739]

Was I the only one who just stared at the ice cream and my mouth almost drooled? XD lol

[@sophiebowman8087]

When I use chalk pastels it doesn't work

[@reynah3584]

I tried to make a cupcake like this but it did not come out as good as Rachel made it.

[@inderpreetsingh9731]

It is very good but very difficult

[@yurutsuki002]

I tried this... Ended making a ball...

[@valerialopez7801]

4 times 4 is 16 not 20 I’m not trying to be rude

[@pysiataw131]

how do you create your icing

[@creativerachy]

With liquid clay

[@kawaiisprinklesxoxo782]

What color clay do you use for the top of the cupcake

[@mitchiribeetle225]

Where can I buy the mold that you guys use?

[@bethglenmaddie]

Love this!!!

[@louiselee2644]

LOVE THIS, thank you I have always wanted to make a popover craft to use as GS SWAPS. DO you have suggestions on how to create the pop top or maybe a way to add a pad of butter or jam? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

[@hanneloretancioco51523]

Do you know xoxrufus in person? Just curious. I'm subscribed to both of your channels and I just realized you are two different people @.@

[@minaxihitesh]

[@latifahmohdazmi6441]

What do u use for your sprinkles? 🤔 Btw I love ur videos. I am a beginner in polymer clay and find ur videos really helpful. You are actually the one who got me into polymer clay because ur charms looked sooooo cute and cool!

[@BrittanyS143]

can you show every step like when you shaped that you skipped out on you forming it I just want to see you form the base without skippin please!!! love love your work!!

[@ninacomo8011]

I don't have have polymer clay I have air dry clay, can I still use the freezer method?

[@allysongeier5164]

crafty bree me too i love polymer clay its so much fun and thanks to creative rachy i now have improved in polymer clay thanks so much creative rachy ^-^

[@manishapaul4205]

you are really excellent

[@baboosrandomvids5390]

I use this tutorial for cupcake bases, but I am looking to get a mold. I can only find a 12mm mold though, do you think its too small or is it a good size?

[@fallenphantom696]

Is baking necessary?

[@nataliebromley4637]

No offence but I was a little disappointed as the video description says no mold

[@creativerachy]

But I didn't use a mold? If you mean the blue one in the beginning, I'm just showing what my cupcake mold does look like but if you watch the whole video you will see the tutorial with no mold

[@acee3040]

Oh and create icing by using clay and lots of liquid clay mix

[@ella404]

Another way to make the cupcake wrapper is to push slightly on the charm with a bottle cap.

[@tempisfantasies9833]

You could probably bake the base/top and use a hot glue gun and make your own Mold!!

[@anoniart9052]

what the name of the powder you use

[@tempisfantasies9833]

Anoni Art hey, it's call chalk pastel ~ you can get it in art stores and two dollar shops (sorry if our wanted Rachel to reply 🙏🏼)

[@anoniart9052]

Tempi BumbleLee thanks

[@tempisfantasies9833]

Anoni Art you’re welcome

[@doctortanzinanowrin5855]

You said no mold while you have one RIGHT THERE

[@creativerachy]

I used it as a comparison :) did you watch the whole video where I actually make the base or just the first few seconds that has a mold it?

[@giannamaria3852]

Creative Rachy I am so sorry!!! I did not mean to be so rude! I have no idea what I was thinking!!
