Clay Made Easy: American Flag Pattern Cake - YouTube

Hey Everyone! In this video I'm gonna to show you how i made this American flag pattern cake

and it may seem difficult but

I'll show you every step

along the way on how to make it.

So, first thing you'll want to do is roll out thin sheets of clay and cut out even circles

in red white and blue

so you'll need seven red

six white

and seven blue.

once you have all of that finished

start by taking a red one

make sure it's flat

and

start stacking

the colors on top one another

so the next one will be white

try to get it centered

and then press out any air bubbles

then put another red on top

and again make sure it's centered, squeeze out the air bubbles

add another white

another red

one more white

so you'll have something like that.

Now, with all of the blue circles

use a smaller cutter

to removed the center

and I don't know if you can tell but i kind of marked an X on each of the

blue circle so i can find the center easier

now that that's finished

start stacking all the blues on top of one another

so you should use all of them at once so uh... all seven of them

and make sure they're

as even as you can get them

you might have to move them around a little bit

Ok, once you're finished and

you think all the air bubbles have been

pretty much

removed

take a really thin cutting tool

and slice the blue

shape in half like that.

Now with the remaining red and white circles

use the same

sized cutting tool that you used for the blue

and cut out

small circles

I think there will be

four red and three white?

if my math is correct hahaha

and make sure you clean all your cutting tools

before you switch colored cuz

you could

stain the other colors

Ok. Now, starting with the red

start stacking them

just like you did before

Ok now take

the

blue half circles and

try to smooth out the

inside as much and you can

and put the smaller circle

in the middle

and connect the blue together again

it doesn't have to be perfect because we're going to be texturing

the cake and you wont really see the

uh... seams

then after that

you'll wanna put

the blue section on the top of the white

bottom section

and then smooth out the edges as much as you can

Now for frosting,

i rolled out a sheet of white clay really thin

and then

I spent

a bit of time

stretching it out

and pressing it down until

it completely covered the cake

it pieces tear off or

there's like a hole or

something stretched too much

don't worry, you can always add another piece on top

you should get something like that when you're finished

now put it in a refrigerator or freezer for a few minutes. That'll help

keep the colors from blending when you slice the cake

make sure you have a really thin knife

and for my favorite part

Tah-Dah!!!

I wanted to make it a

necklace two earrings so I'm cutting two slices

Yay!!

Now, use a needle tool or toothpick or

the tip of a blade..anything

to add texture to the cake

and if you'd like to add stars,

you could

add little pieces of white

as you texture

so as you're going alone you can press a little piece of white and then

texture like you

do everything else

of course make them smaller heehee

but i didn't really want to add that so I'm gonna remove mine

It's just a suggestion

so ya

after you finish texturing

you could add eyepins if you want it to be

used for jewelry

and that's about it
