2 boxes of white cake mix along with required ingredients according to the box
Food coloring
2-3 containers of icing
cake pan(s)
bowls and measuring spoons
small candies, sprinkles, or other edible decorations

Step 2- 

Split the batter up into 6 different bowls. Add 2-3 drops of food coloring to make each bowl a different color

Bake according to box instructions each color in a different pan. We had to wait for our pan to cool before using it again for another color.

These are cooling while we re-use the pan each time

Step 4-

Cut the tops off so they are nice and flat for stacking

Step 5-

Ice the top of each cake before stacking on top of the next

Add secret ingredients to the inside by making a hole in the 2nd through next to last layer (not the top) and drop in, then place the top layer on.

Ice the outside of the cake being careful not to push too hard on the cake

Step 7-

Decorate the cake anyway you like.

Lesson #10- Salt Art

Salt Art

This is a messy project and is best done outside. This project requires a bit more time because you have to wait for the project to dry.

 Materials-

Paper (the thicker the better)

Glue in a bottle

Salt

Water color paints

Step 1-

Use glue to make fun designs on the paper

Step 2-

Add salt to the wet glue. We placed our art on a serving tray to conserve the mess and be able to collect and reuse the excess salt

Step 3-

Let dry! This is a very important step. We let our art a full 24 hours

Step 4-

Use water colors and gently touch the salt with the color on your brush

It's very cool how the paint spreads as it gets absorbed by the salt.

Step 5-
Take a picture and share
