Life at the Bay

Moulding fondant has become a sensation in our arts and crafts section at Sugar Bay. We have our campers thinking out of the box and inventing original pieces of art. During our Charlie and the Chocolate Factory themed week, we made Wonka bars in tribute to our chocolate master, Mr Willy Wonka. If you have a sweet tooth and you love the 1964 classic, here's how to make a Wonka bar. What you will need:  Fondant  Icing sugar Chopsticks (long and short) Medium sized jar Food colouring (colours of your choice)  Flat board Scissors Toothpicks  Method:  Step 1: Separate fondant into 3 pieces. 1 fistful piece (for the wrapper) and 2 smaller pieces (for the             chocolate bar and Wonka wording). Step 2: Mix the icing sugar into the pieces until smooth. Step 3: Squirt the red food colouring (or any colour of your choice for the wrapper) into the bigger         ...

What you will need: Water  A clear plastic bottle Vegetable oil Food colouring Alka-Seltzer (or other tablets that fizz) Instructions: 1. Pour water into the plastic bottle until it's   around one quarter full. You might want to use a funnel when filling the bottle so you don't spill anything. 2.Pour in vegetable oil until the bottle is almost full. 3.Wait for the water and oil to separate. 4. Add a dozen drops of food colouring into the bottle (choose any colour you like). 5. The food colouring should fall through the oil and mix with the water. 6.Cut an Alka-Seltzer tablet into small pieces (5-6 pieces) and drop one of them into the bottle, things should start getting a little crazy because the lava lamp should be coming to life! 7. When the bubbling stops, add another piece of Alka-Seltzer and enjoy the show! From making rock candy, volcano's to lava lamps, we love to learn through play at Sugar Bay.
