This week we worked on sugar, sugar and more sugar. Specifically - spun, bubble, rock and cast sugar. We also colored sugar and on day 2 we made sculptures out of the individual pieces. Sugar work is tricky. You have to mold it while it is still hot, so planning ahead is essential. It can be really dangerous, so ice water near by is a must. I managed to make one ribbon. Making flowers was easier for me. I think that was because I have a high tolerance for heat and I have large hands. Because of the type of flower I made, I was able to cup/form the sugar in my hand. The was a simple yet challenging week.
We used: Thermometer, pots, coloring, marble slab, heat lamp, proof box and oven.
