Rainbow Cake Pop

Texture: DIY Clay (Cloud Slime Base)

Level: Intermediate

We imagined the epitome of happiness for the design of this slime.

Clay lolli with rainbow stripes? Check.

Sprinkle-filled cloud slime? Check.

Rainbow cake scent? Check.

Mixed together, the texture turns into a cloud dough that's playable, holdable, stretchy and a lovely shade of baby pink.

Enjoy!

- Wash your hands with cool water before playing
- Never mix food and slime; it will cause mold
- Keep slime in an airtight container when you’re not using it
- Check in on your slime regularly; if you leave it alone for months, the compound changes so make sure you maintain by treating it based on how it feels (see tips below)
- This slime tends to not get sticky, BUT if it does, use activator, use activator (available in a spray bottle in our shop; add 3-5 sprays if it’s a little sticky and more if it’s super sticky; it’s a science so you have to add bit by bit and test the slime along the way)
- If you add too much activator, slime will overactivate and get hard and rippy (it will soften over time or you can speed up the process; see below)
- If your slime feels rippy and hard, it may need to warm up; try holding it in the palm of your hand and running warm to hot water over it (not so hot that it will burn) for 5-10 seconds (continue until soft)
- If it is not softening, add a little bit of lotion (unscented is best if you don’t want to impact the smell) and mix thoroughly
- The clay in this slime dries out when outside for a long time; if your slime is out for hours, it will harden
- Slime inflates as you stretch (it fills with air); store the overflow in another airtight container or even a zip lock bag until it all deflates

This type is called DIY clay because the clay piece that matches is hand-made (hence DIY) and when you mix it in with the base slime, you create a new texture (so you do-it-yourself too). Sometimes the clay pieces are so cute, it’s hard to imagine squishing them (you can let it dry out and keep it as a little friend). But we promise, mushing is incredibly satisfying.

Whatever the base texture is, the addition of clay will make the slime more rich and dough-like and buttery in vibe. You can add the excess to an air-tight container you may have at home or a zip lock bag.
Slime is hand-made and artisanal. Squeezing is known to release tense muscles associated with stress. Playing with it has a soothing feeling. Small parts are a choking hazard. Keep away from infants and pets (sofas, clothing and hair too).
