I've seen a couple of these around...so I thought I'll make my own

Instructions

  1. Small ombre cake

    Mix colors into even balls of clay, graduating from light to dark Here I mixed white, orange, and yellow

  2. Small ombre cake2

    They should look a bit like this, in the colors you want

  3. Small ombre cake3

    Flatten the balls into even disks. Stack them to make sure they're even (or use a cookie cutter)

  4. Small ombre cake4

    Roll out white clay for the filling, and place a disk on the rolled out clay. Cut around the disk (or use a cookie cutter). Repeat until you have enough for in between each layer, and one for the top and bottom

  5. Small ombre cake5

    Roll out another strip of white clay, and wrap around the cake. Smooth out the sides. Be careful not to distort the bottom and top layers.

  6. Small ombre cake6

    Trace out where you will cut (so you can smooth it out if you make a mistake)

  7. Small ombre cake7

    Cut your slices

  8. Small ombre cake8

    Insert a pin to make it into a charm. Texture the cake portions with a needle. You can bake now, so you don't risk ruining the texture, OR go on to the next step

  9. Small ombre cake11

    Decorate

  10. Small ombre cake10

    Bake according to packaging instructions on the clay
