Hi,
I saw a video that you placed on youtube where you made a volcano cake. I was interested in making volcano cupcakes for my son’s upcoming birthday and I was hoping you could send me the directions on what you used to make the volcanic action. I saw the dry ice, but have never worked with it before. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Melinda
Melinda,
You are welcome to try to make valcano cupcakes, but I’m not sure how easy it would be to make so many so small. In any case here is the link to the post that has a few more detailed instructions. If you have any other questions I will do what I can to help. http://balloonguyentertainment.com/blog/?p=637
With dry ice don’t put it in a sealed container (the container could explode as the dry ice changes from solid to gas form). Use gloves when handling it, or it can leave cold burns. I used gloves and a rubber mallet to break it up into smaller pieces.
I was searching for ways to make an erupting volcano for a school project for my 5th grader. Your video was awesome. I would love to know everything I will need to buy for it. Please let me know. Thank you so very much for your time.
You can find detailed instructions (including what to buy) on the blog post that this link will take you to http://balloonguyentertainment.com/blog/?p=637 if you have more questions I’ll try to answer as quick as I can.
Hey well me and my friend are going to make a volcano. Is it possible if we melt white chocolate and we make a frame then we could put the white chocolate on the frame then freeze it then we can put the cup on the inside put red dye in then put dry ice in?
I’m not quite sure what you mean by a white chocolate and a frame. Are you planning to do make a hollow white chocolate volcano? Sound cool in any case. The only thing I would be worried about is the fact that the jello in the cup is going to be warm, very warm, boiling warm in fact. This might melt your chocolate and dislodge the cup before all the lava-y coolness is finished.
Sorry it took so long to get back to you. Work has been somewhat unseasonably busy.
