This is the first time for myself and all of my group members to make a ice sculpture. An ice sculpture is a form of sculpture using ice/water as the raw material. They can be made into varieties of shape and form.

For our group we decided to make a rectangular or a circular shape as the base of the sculpture. It would soon be made into a 2 or 3 layers of a christmas cake. The cake would included the element of light and sound and it would also be color into different ways to represent the theme of the christmas season.

Since is the first time for making an ice sculpture, we had done some research upon that. These are some of the amazing ice sculpture that was made by the others around the world.



This is our main objective of this project:


** Activities to be completed this week and next week: **
 * 1) Form a design of the ice sculpture

2. Decide on the kinds of materials

3. Makes the first portion(the base) of the ice sculpture

** References ** 1. Google.ca 2. refer to the links of the image

In this week, we kind of figured out the size and the materials we need. We discussed what we are going to put on a cake and we made a final decision of how our cake is going to look like. In the first week, we had two designs (rectangular one and the normal cake looking one). We chose to do the normal cake looking one. It’s going to be about 40cm to 50cm in diameter and 15cm for the height. We are gonna have a little house on the second cake. The second cake is gonna be smaller than the first one.

After about one and a half week of work for making an ice sculpture. We finally conclude that making an ice sculpture cake is very difficult!?!?!!? So instead of making an ice cake(that's 2 layers), we change the idea a bit. We made an ice cake CASTLE with an entrance. The Castle has only one layer. The dimensions for the cake castle will probably stay the same (40 cm in diameter and 15 cm in hieght). Our materials used will still be the same. Our material as posted in the image above are lights, ice cubes, food coloring, paint brush, water, snow, salt,spoon, paint can opener, and a round shaped bowl or container. The final image of our ice sculpture will be posted below as soon as possible. Our ice cake castle will have lights around it and an entrance directing towards it. We will also have colour on some of the ice in our entrance and on the ice cake castle. We worked well on our project. Hopefully people like it.

** Activities to be completed this week and next week: ****Completion of the ice castle.****This week we came up with exactly what were going to do but ended changing** our minds once we encountered a few difficulties. We decided finally on doing a ice cake castle. We worked on it this week and have finally finished it. :)
