Our Cupcakes!

What fun...so easy!

These directions break down making these cupcakes into easy to understand steps.

After seeing these cute ceramic cupcakes on several blogging posts, I decided to try them myself.

The project took 2, 40 minute classes.


The results were fantastic!

Day One

Create both the top and bottom with potters clay.  

Each section is a pinch pot.

The bottom is then pressed into silicone molds.  I found these at a craft store (cake section). A cherry ball is added with careful consideration.  Score and use slip.

Dry and fire as directed
by the clay you use.

Tip: Have your students put their name on color coded class papers.  Layer them between the two sections of clay.

Day two

Glaze the two sections.  I did not allow the cake bottom or icing bottom edge to be glazed.  I even dipped that section in potters wax to make sure and wiped that area with a sponge after the kids left.  Then, they sat easily on the kiln shelf- and did not stick. (The stilts I had to hold them up were too big and wobbly to deal with.)
