I enjoy making Art because it lets me express myself and my feelings. The different varieties of art are fun. I like experimenting with different materials and types of art.
My glorious cake is strawberry cake, with blueberries on top, and a drizzle of vanilla frosting. I don't have a specific reason why I made this strawberry cake, I just wanted to have fun and express my hunger. But my friend is making a cake SLICE so I thought I would make a small cake. Making a real-life strawberry cake is easier than making this fake TINY cake. My original idea was to just make a 3D pen cake with different colors but we only had 1 color so I chose to cover it with air-dry clay. The clay cracked while it was drying so I had the idea to add water to smooth it out and then paint it right away so it would stay moist and dry with paint. I was wrong, the paint cracked too but not the actual clay. So I added more paint to the cracks, which I had to rematch the light pinky color. When it dried it made it smooth enough for me to make the strawberries. The strawberries were even harder because I had to make them smaller and the right color, the same thing for the blueberries. I glued them on and I figured I was missing something so I decided to add some white drizzles, and it made it look better! It was a last-minute thing and I admit I didn't plan it out well but amazing things happen by accident, LIKE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES.
I hope this audience finds this strawberry cake fun to look at and to bring up memories!
THANK YOU, ENJOY!
