symbolism in the wizard of oz cake



 
 This delicious cake with a yellow staircase leads to the wizard of Oz. Each layer shows her adventure and gives us a lesson on symbols.
First of all, the bottom layer symbolizes Dorothy Gale’s dress and sparkly red shoes. She taps the shoes together and says “there’s no place like home.”
In the second layer, the soft pastel colours represent the dress of Glinda the good witch of the north when she gives Dorothy the sparkly red shoes.
The third layer shows when Dorothy is following the yellow bricked road to meet the Great Wizard of Oz and is passing the the cornfield and she meets the scarecrow and she tells him that she wants to go to her house and he tells her he himself wants to have a brain so he could think so she tells him to come along.
In the third layer shows when Dorothy and the Scarecrow are by the  dense forest and Dorothy sees apples and goes to get them and meets the tin woodman who was caught in the rain and is rusty and they oil him and he says he wishes he had a heart so they take him along as well.
The fifth layer shows when the cowardly lion affronts them and Dorothy slaps and he starts crying and is ashamed of himself and tells Dorothy, the scarecrow and tin woodman and only hopes he was as brave as any other lion and they all go to visit the wizard of Oz.
The sixth layer shows when they are in the field of roses and after see the wicked witch of the west. The witch then kidnaps Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the tin woodman and the cowardly lion go in as guards to save Dorothy. Dorothy kills the wicked with by throwing a bucket of water on her.
The last layer shows when they go visit the great wizard of oz and he explains to the scarecrow that he has a brain otherwise he wouldn’t have done that and the tin man he has a heart as how he was to the group of friends and the cowardly lion he he is brave or else he couldn’t have been able to do all that and at last he tells Dorothy Gale how to get back home to Kansas.
