Edible Art, Edvard Munch,
16"x24"x3"
2016
What better way to learn about art history than by eating it! This group project began by campers choosing a team led by one of the Fine Art staff members. Once the painting they were to replicate was revealed, the team set about mixing food dyes and white, buttercream frosting to replicate the colors in the painting they were given. Since the food dyes only came in primary colors plus green, this task often proved to be quite challenging! White frosting is then applied lightly to the sheet cake and a sketch of the painting drawn in the icing with a bamboo skewer. With the outline complete, campers begin to apply the colored frosting and blending the colors to match the original painting as closely as possible. When all the teams have completed their cakes, the edible artworks are taken to the Dining Hall and served to the whole camp during lunch.
