Oops, Claes Oldenburg Forgot to Put a Cherry on Top!

I recently went to the NAEA conference in New York City.  One morning we jetted to the MOMA and saw a little art.  One fun piece was this Claes Oldenburg "Floor Cone".  Have a look at the cone and it's description.
Did you notice the resemblance of the clay cone and Oldenburg's cone?  Fun, huh?  The cherry is an added touch by one of my third graders.

I talked about Claes Oldenburg.

The kids attached the pinch pot and the cone.

I fired.
They painted their clay projects.
LOOK!
Tutti Frutti would be a good ice cream name.  Here's Little Richard singing "Long Tall Sally" and "Tutti Frutti",
