How Do You Make An Edible Erupting Volcano?
This erupting volcano project rolls a cooking class and a science experiment into one. The volcano, which is completely edible, is made of cake, frosting and other sweets. The foaming lava, made of Jello and baking soda, does nothing to detract from the treat’s appeal. This is a great project to do for a science fair or with an entire class of children. Place a cookie sheet on a flat surface. Invert the quarter-sheet cake on top of the cookie sheet. Center the Bundt or tube cake on top of the quarter-sheet cake. If the top of the Bundt or tube cake is too wide, stack a couple layers of small sandwich cookies on top to give it some height. Divide the cake icing into two batches and mix in the food coloring. Half of the icing should be brown (for the volcano) and the other half should be green (for the island beneath it). Ice the cakes, making the Bundt or tube cake brown and the quarter-sheet cake green; the two colors will meet around the base of the volcano. Decorate the cake further,
