How to fold an origami cake slice

Fold the top and bottom edges in to make two cake layers with cream between, shape the corners into a wedge and glue a round red cherry on top.

You need: 1 square sheet, chocolate brown on one side, and a small red square. Medium, 7 steps, about 8 minutes.

Steps

  1. Top layer. White side up. Fold the top edge down so it stops just below the middle.
  2. Bottom layer. Fold the bottom edge up, leaving a thin white stripe between the two brown layers. That's the cream.
  3. Shape the wedge. Fold the top-left corner behind on a slant, from the left edge up to the top-right corner. Fold the bottom-right corner behind too.
  4. Cherry: new sheet. Set the cake aside. Take the small red square, red side up.
  5. Round the cherry. Red side up. Fold the four corners behind, the same amount each.
  6. Smooth it. Fold the eight little corners behind so the cherry is nice and round.
  7. Cherry on top. Glue the cherry on the slanted top of the cake, near the crusty end.

Party slice!

Draw the edges of the slice and a stem on the cherry. Pop it on a paper plate with a birthday candle.
