Miss Heaton’s Art Class Creates a Cardboard Kitchen!
I was recently contacted by Miss Heaton, a secondary art school teacher from the U.K. Her class wanted to create sweets as a project, but were finding it a challenge to draw two dimensional cakes and sweets.
Miss Heaton explained that although it was a challenge for the class to draw sweets, they found “cardboard sculpture exciting and creatively freeing”. After viewing The Cardboard Kitchen online, the class was inspired to set up their own Cardboard Kitchen.
So with a few tips from The Cardboard Kitchen cookbook, these young artists created an elegant selection of yummy desserts. I think you will agree, these beautiful treats are amazing!
Congratulations to all, including the gifted teacher Miss Heaton. It takes a talented teacher to inspire gifted young artists!

Art On The Menu is the test kitchen of a foodie artist. From the humble to the haute, cardboard to paint, I never read a recipe without a brush or glue in my hand.

Congratulations Jack! Love your slice of cake and the way you visualized your chocolate curls on top! To preserve your lovely piece, I suggest spraying it lightly with ph neutral spray. This can be found in any craft store.
