Rainbow Cake Charm
This is a 6-layered mini rainbow cake with “cream cheese” frosting (it’s all made out of polymer clay)! I made this charm by layering flattened circles of the different colors, cutting each cake into 8 pieces, and “frosting” them with a mixture of white clay and bakeable medium.
If you have a particularly discerning eye, you’ll notice that each layer actually consists of two similar, but slightly different colors! It may sound cheesy, but adding little details like these are why I love making polymer clay miniatures so much.
You may also be wondering, “is this a Pride thing?” Well, if you want it to be, then hells yeah! If you just like rainbow cakes, that’s cool too! But yes - these are the 6 colors used in the traditional Pride flag. If you’re curious about the history of this flag, here’s a description, according to https://www.hrc.org/resources/lgbtq-pride-flags:
“After the assassination of Harvey Milk [in 1978], the rainbow flag was in high demand. Due to manufacturing issues, the hot pink stripe was removed. The turquoise stripe was removed from the flag as a design choice from Baker. The six color pride flag has represented the community for over 40 years and is still one of the most common LGBTQ+ flags.”
