Basket Cake

Texture: Cloud Dough

Level: Beginner

We reinvented the tradition of a basket cake as a pastel layered cloud dough, topped with rainbow sprinkles and infused with the light and airy scent of angel food cake. 

It pulls with delight and has a fluffy feeling, full of stretch. The resulting color is a gorgeous mint green that captures the essence of Easter joy. 

• 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

Cloud Dough is rich, thick and dough-ilke (hence the name) due to the addition of air dry clay. It’s holdable and the type of slime that doesn’t easily melt over time or get sticky (that is why it’s an adult favorite). It’s a slime to squeeze versus pop and drizzle. 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).
