I asked the students to firstly make a drawing of what their cake should look like and was impressed how literally many of them converted their designs into 3D creations.
This was the first time I'd attempted a clay project in a classroom setting with no art room tools (let's just say the carpet didn't look so good afterwards...) so I drew the line at glazing the cakes and instead we painted and varnished them.
Best of all, they are totally vegan, gluten free, sugar free and guilt free.

I LOVE these so much. What a great translation for both you and your students. I know my fourth graders would love to have a go at this! Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing, I did a very similar cupcake container with fifth grade. For the top I had the students use coils so it had more of a piped frosting top. We did glaze them, the bottoms were with solid color glazes, and the tops any thing goes. Most used the crystal glazes. They looked a bit different than yours, but both are beautiful. I am new on these blogs, I may be hooked.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kelly - I 'd love to see the cakes your students made.
ReplyDeleteI laughed SO hard once I remembered spy vs spy and made the connection. It was one of those...the longer you look at it the more it will appear moments. SO Funny!
