Cupcake WarsIn this project, we had to come up with a way to make a cupcake stand out of all recyclable materials, that can hold and display twenty cupcakes. We chose to do the BP Oil spill. In the beginning we knew exactly what we were going to do. We knew the base had to be the strongest part, so we couldn't use cardboard. We got margarita glasses because the top of the glasses are huge and if we flip them over they would hold the whole stand up. So on the bottom we had a margarita glass turned upside down, we put a plastic record on top of it with hot glue, then we hot glued the second margarita glass upside down on the top of the record. Then we did that process to where there were three levels and three margarita glasses. We started decorating and painting everything to where it looked like a beach and each level of the stand was a different blue. The top was a light blue, then it got darker as you went down to show the different levels of the ocean. Then we drizzled hot glue down the glasses and painted it black so it would look like oil. After we were finished with the stand we started drizzling black icing all over the cupcakes and edible birds and all of that so it would look like oil. In the end the whole thing looked amazing, we were pretty proud of it.
