Over a month's period of time, teens persevere to achieve a goal they've always wanted to accomplish.
Overcome laziness. Overcome struggles. Strive. Achieve. Accomplish.
So everyone at The Function got to pick a challenge for themselves. We had some pretty crazy and diverse ones including the raw food challenge, the love letter challenge, and the splits challenge.
We stayed accountable by posting pictures and statuses to our facebook page, The "P" Challenge, and you can feel free to check it out (: https://www.facebook.com/groups/634636056547640/
We had a lot of fun, but it had to come to an end. So we decided to make medals for those who persevered and made it through to the end. We called our celebration Who "P"ed the Longest! Yes, we know it's pretty cheesy(:
If we bought them a boring ol' medal it would just lay there in their house until they would throw it away one day. So we decided to make them edible! And this is how they turned out looking. We used all edible ingredients. Well except the ribbon, that's legit fabric :)
So the base was a cookie. You can use whatever kind you like, just as long as it's round. We chose chocolate chip, because who doesn't love chocolate chip cookies?! Then we bought fondant in 5 different colors. Red, blue, green, yellow, and white. Michael's has them in all sorts of colors. And we got edible glue!! I honestly didn't know this existed before this project. Then there was this spray-on sparkly gold food coloring. And lastly a regular black food coloring.
So first we cut the ribbons to a good size. Then rolled out the white fondant and cut it into circles. Next covered them with the glue, and then sandwiched the ribbon between the cookie and the sticky fondant. We made the fondant circle a bit bigger than the cookie so that it would wrap behind it. You were able to see the cookie from the back side. Then we sprayed it with the gold spray to make them look like beautiful gold medals (Would be easier just to get gold fondant, but we didn't find any). Then you gotta leave those guys alone for a LONG while to dry. Good time for us to make the little Olympic rings. Since we didn't have black we just made blue ones and colored them in with the black food coloring. This part took WAY longer than expected! Who ever thought making little rings could be so hard!
We sprayed the rings with the glue to attach them to the cookie, then wrote "perseverance/2013" with the black food coloring. And Tada :)
