Tips for making something that looks just like the real thing

When asked about the secret to making them look so realistic, RUKO said, "I make sure to make them look fresh. I make sure that anything that is sharp is sharp. I use sparkly beads. I also make sure to carefully trim any fuzz on the felt at the end. Another important thing is to add mint. The green makes the other colors stand out."

Pursuing realism to the fullest extent—that's what professional work is all about.

"In terms of color balance, fresh cakes are colorful with plenty of fruit. For baked goods, we pay attention to how the browning is applied. Start with a light brown and gradually make it darker. Make the parts that burn easily darker." These techniques, which thoroughly pursue realism, are truly the work of a professional!

Enjoy failure, with a relaxed attitude.

When asked, "Have you ever had any failures while making felt sweets?", RUKO replied, "It happens all the time." She said that it's common for things not to go as planned when trying to express something. But she finds it fun and rewarding to persevere and complete the project.
