In process I'm first going to make the lid by just cutting a line across the center of it. Then I plan on putting a few sprinkles on the top and adding a cherry to be the handle to take the lid off. I will then put a glaze on it and add a few colors to make it look like and actual slice of cake. One thing I found difficult was that I was trying to cut a line across the center of it to make the lid and it wouldn't line up with the other side when I got all the way around it, and I had to repeatedly do it. I've found making the shape itself being very successful because I've never done any pottery before and I didn't know how it would turn out. The first thing I did was make a template of what I wanted to do with the piece I then got some clay and rolled out slabs of clay to make the sides, top and bottom of the piece. I scratched and slipped on the sides and put the pieces together. Then I had to let the pieces dry completely before we could put then in the kiln to fire them. Finished pieceI will be adding a glaze to the piece as soon as I can then it will go back in the kiln to be fired again so the glaze hardens.
I think the detail was the part that ended up coming out the best. I would Maybe make it a little bigger if I were to do it again because its very small and probably wont be able to fit very much inside of it.
