Clay Cupcakes

I teach a small Saturday ceramics class at the local community center. Recently, we made these wonderful cupcakes. I found this great lesson idea on Artolazzi. For the bottom of the cupcake, we used a silicone muffin cup. Students made a small pinch pot, which was then pressed into the muffin cup. The top of the cupcake was made with another pinch pot. Students then decorated the top of their cupcakes. These were first bisque fired and then glazed. These look delicious enough to eat.
