Cake Update

Mrs. Sabin and Mr. Finedore's classes took a break from making cakes to work on their beautiful mandalas for the 4th and 5th grade show.  I thought you'd like to see what they have done to make their cakes!

We began by making a mold of them using take-out bowls.  We plastered the forms together and when they were finished they looked like this:


Students put a plan together for a theme for their cakes and had one week to put on the base coat of paint and a second week to add painted details.
The following week they made Sculpey clay figures and forms to hot glue onto the cakes and decorated paper place mats with images that reflected the theme of their cakes.  They wrote about their cakes to explain the theme for the viewer.

In all, each cake took around 6 weeks to make.  More than your average baked cake, but this one will last for years!
