- Bright, bold colors in reusable solid cakes - Great for color mixing and classroom sharing - Cakes activate quickly with a spritz of water - Rehardens after use for long-lasting value Made to share easily, store neatly, and stretch your classroom budget further, Blick Essentials Tempera Cakes make classroom creativity simple and inspiring. Just mist with water for bright, opaque color that brushes on smoothly—no pouring, spills, or dried up paint. Cakes reharden between uses and re-activate quickly with water, even after extended storage, making them a smart value for busy art rooms. The solid format makes them easy to distribute in group settings and helps keep shared workspaces organized. Use them to demonstrate color mixing and reinforce primary and secondary relationships, explore transparencies with spritz-and-wash techniques, or experiment with dry brush applications for texture studies like grass, bark, or fur. Ideal for shared tables and rotating art stations, cleanup is as simple as rinsing a brush. Explore three sizes to match your needs: Large cakes measure 2-1/4" Dia x 3/4"H.
