DIY Christmas Fake Bake

 

Holiday Kitchen Decor

I've been making a lot of fake bakes lately - cookies, drinkscandiescaramel apples.... so when I came across this cute little snowflake printed dish at the thrift store I decided to give a fake cake a try.  It was super easy to do, check it out:

The first thing that I did was to cut a piece of foam down to approximately the size of the dish.  I didn't worry so much about the rough edges and uneven lines because I planned on sanding it down to look more rounded 😉

Here is how it looked after sanding.

I eventually hot glued it into place, but not until after painting.

It was at this point I realized that my supply of chocolate colored acrylic paint was nearly non-existent 😕
I decided to get creative and grabbed the kids poster paints, mixing every color together until it was a nice rich brown, and poured it over the top of the foam.

The poster paints did ok in a pinch, but I do still prefer my acrylics.

Once the brown paint had dried I drizzled some white puffy paint to look like icing...

...and added a few 'candy' snowflakes to the top.  These were made with Sculpy air dry clay in a candy mold, then embellished with a bit of red puffy paint.

And here you can see how it turned out.
I love it paired with my faux hot chocolates and coordinating printable!
