Craft Celtic Knot & Claddagh Sheet Cakes

Finished Celtic Knot Sheet Cakes, up close.

      I used plastic chocolate candy molds to make these detailed, doll sized, sheet cakes and then iced them with puffy paints. 

       Both the Celtic knot shaped sheet cake and the Claddagh ring symbol with heart, hand and crown are connected to ancient Irish traditions. So we thought these would be perfect cakes for our doll's bakery to sell on this St. Patrick's Day.

Supply List:

• oven bake clay, air dry clay or paper clay
• candy molds
• cardboard
• acrylic paints
• puff paints: white, yellow and green
• hot glue and hot glue gun
• Mod Podge
• decorative scrap paper to cover the cake trays

Step-by-Step Directions:

1.  Press and unmold the oven bake clay and bake it according to the instructions given on the package.
2. You can cut a cake tray to display your sheet cake craft out of cardboard. Make it a little larger than the cake and decoupage it with a pretty paper. 
3. Then glue the molded sheet cake to the tray. 
4. Now you can paint the molded cakes entirely with acrylics and puff paints before sealing them with Mod Podge. When you use the puff paints these look just like icing on a cake!
