Our First Mosaics Projects

This summer holiday, we went to a resort.

There are some art classes in the resort, such as clay, shoe / tshirt / cap design, pottery, bottle drawing classes.

We attended a few of them. The class that I liked most is the mosaics class.

This was the first time my son and I did the mosaics projects. We felt so exciting!


In the class, we were given a wood photo frame as the foundation to adhere the tiles on.

There were so many pretty tiles for our choice. Some of them were complete and more of them were in pieces.



If we wanted to cut our shapes, we can use a cutting tool.

Captain America Shield Cake for Daddy

Besides the rainbow color key holder, we also baked a cake for Daddy.

To be consistent, we tried to make a cake related to 'Hero'.

Finally, my son and I decided to make a Captain America Shield cake.


But.... how to decorate it?

I do not have much experience on decorating big cake.

So my son and I searched information on the web.

Wow! There is a lot of related cakes.

Though decorating the whole shield with cream seems more pretty, we both don't like red cream which looks like ....blood.

Thus, we decided to use fruit for decoration. This must be healthier.

Finally, we use white cream, blueberry, strawberry and some red sparkle gel for cake to decorate it.

For the cake top, we used 'You are our Hero!'


Below is the cake that we made. How do you think?
