However, this is one of my favorite slab pottery ideas. It’s a joy to place a handmade birdhouse in your backyard and see birds nesting in the home you made for them. One way to make a simple slab-built tealight burner is to cut out a slab of clay into whatever shape you like. Then use an object that is just larger than the base of a tealight and make an impression in the clay slab. This will act as a small dip for the tealight to sit in when the slab has been fired. Rich and tender chocolate cake meets creamy peanut-butter frosting in this must-make recipe.
A Slab Cake is a large, flat, single-layer, rectangular cake. It is not quite the same as a “Sheet Cake”, though both can be used to serve large numbers of people. Thank you as I was searching pictures of Costco cakes.

Once you have shaped the slab into a plate form, let the clay dry out until it’s leather-hard. Then using a clay knife or fettling knife cut out a circle in your slab. You can cut out the circle freehand if you want to go for an organic look. Or you can use a template to cut out a perfect circle. The easiest way to make a plate is to roll out a slab of clay to about ¼ inch thickness. For tips on how to roll an even slab of clay have a look at my step-by-step guide here.

This beauty gets its flavor from fresh lemon zest and its stature from not-too-sweet meringue. Dollop tons on top for a dramatic look and if you don't have a blowtorch, brown the peaks with a quick blast under the broiler. Where you store your food can impact how long it stays fresh and reduce your risk of cross contamination. The usual purpose of a Slab Cake is to provide cake for large birthday parties.

Chocolate Slab cake with strawberry frosting
It was without a doubt the best ever moist chocolate slab cake I had ever eaten. I must confess that I may have consumed at least three pieces during the course of the afternoon tea. I don’t even recall eating anything else because my taste buds only seemed to be craving more and more of the chocolate slab cake. Easy to assemble with store-bought crust, layered with lemony cream cheese, and loaded with fresh strawberries, this slab pie is perfect in every way. You can use cooking parchment paper or waxed paper to roll out the dough for easier cleanup. However, the simplest way to make a slab platter is to make the dish free hand.
To make your leaves appear more authentic, aim for a finer thickness. About 7 mm would reduce the danger of breaking your plate. Using air drying clay will make sure you don’t need to use a kiln to fire the clay, and other it’s cheaper than regular clay. But if you have access to a firing service, using regular clay is fine too. You can also add a strip of slab clay to the edge of the slab circle. This can function as a rim to stop your cake from sliding about on the stand.
Some of these slab pottery ideas can be made using air-dry clay. As the name suggests, air dry clay does not need to be fired in a kiln. The balance of cocoa powder, butter, sugar, eggs, and sour cream gives this red velvet an almost fudgy flavor.
This is because neither of these items needs to be watertight. They just need to be strong enough to hold your stationary in place. Keep the clay covered in plastic until it’s almost bone dry. Once the tray is leather hard, transfer it to a metal grid or cooling rack for cakes.
Or they can be cone-shaped meaning that they taper in either at the bottom or top of the mug. Here are two slab plates I made that were decorated with underglaze and glazed with a clear glaze. Once the plate is completely dry, or ‘bone dry’ it’s ready to be fired. Leave the slab uncovered for a while to allow it to firm up just a little.
Plus, you need to factor in that clay shrinks when it dries. So, make the clock face a bit larger than what you need it to be. One of the key things about making a tray is to dry and fire it without the clay slab warping. Warping is when the clay curls and bends, losing its intended flat shape. One of the challenges of making slab pottery is to prevent the clay from warping. Because these pieces are small and soft when freshly cut, it’s best to peel the spare clay away from around the edge of the cut shape.
The first thing to do is to buy a clock mechanism. These are surprisingly inexpensive usually costing around $10. As with all these slab pottery ideas, there are lots of ways to approach making a soap dish. You can get as creative and inventive as you like. Once you have your template, cut out your slab of clay. You can then fold the clay slab into the shape you want it to be and join the edges with score and slip.
The combination of espresso and chocolate was one that first caught my eye when I tasted Bicerin , a coffee and chocolate drink, in Turin a few years ago. We tasted two different versions on the Dessert tour. Made them yesterday, they are wonderful.and so easy. I used some Sunny-D orange and peach instead of soda.
