Making Polymer Sponge Cake for your doll


Today I thought I would share with you a cake I have made from Polymer clay. This is easy! First I took one full square of Beige polymer clay and worked it into a ball, then I flattened the ball into a cake shape about  3/4 of an inch high and cut it pizza style wedges. Then I took a tooth pick and poked holes in the cake part to reate the sponge look. Next I took some dark brown almost black polymer clay and worked it with my fingers and then cut triangles as "icing" and placed it on top. Then  I took a very small amount of red clay and rolled little egg shaped balls and poked the egg with a tooth pick to make it look like a strawberry. Next I used light green to create "leaves" and placed them on top of the red strawberry and placed the whole strawberry on the top of the "icing" on the cake.

I am really happy how this turned out. It was so easy to make and baked according to the directions on the clay. Polymer Clay food is easy, and fun to make alone or with a group.
As with all my posts I would love to hear from you so leave me a comment here or email me at karenmowen@gmail.com

  2. it's interesting how you did it. I would have laid the icing on the cake first and then cut it into slices.

  3. I bet you could easily rework this into a Mardi Gras King cake for the new dolls that are coming out!
