Immortal Whipped Cream (v2)

thingiverse

Wow! Talk about an upgrade! This is the all-new and improved immortal whipped cream created for photography. (I've literally <I>just</i> finished sculpting this, so I haven't finished the print yet. Once it's all done, I'll be adding more photos!) I do a lot of photography at work and came upon a repeated issue. I work at a cafe, and taking photos of drinks with whipped topping became a huge issue when I didn't have the time to get the perfect photo. Without the patience to cook up one of the recipes online for longer-lasting whipped cream, I armed myself with the desire for a permanent solution, and quickly <I>whipped</i> up this little sculpted whipped cream topping perfect for my photos! Just slap it on a cup, add sauce, and for adding sprinkles (or any other hard toppings), you can paint on a tiny bit of real whipped cream, and everything will temporarily stick just fine! I cut a straw at an angle and stuck it with whipped cream to add a straw in one photo. So long as you can't see the sloppy attachment point, it works! I typically place a thin layer of real whipped cream on top of the liquid (or ice for a cup you can't see through) in the cup, then set this in it. This will help blend it in, but will also mean removing it will have whipped cream all over the place. Good trade-off in my opinion. I believe it's currently set to print roughly the right size for a 16oz disposable cup. The inside is hollow to cut down weight and print time, so requires supports. I'll be making even more styles of this item shortly!
