First Sugar Piece

Monday, December 19, 2011
Our intro to sugars was very interesting. We learned a lot of different techniques and how they can be used to form a sugar showpiece. We learned how to make pulled sugar and pulled isomalt, rock sugar, and casting sugar. In addition we learned how to make coral, bubble, and sand sugar. The piece to the left uses many examples of cast sugar. The gold is sprinkled on while the cast sugar is barely set then torched with a blowtorch to get the windblown effect. At the base you see some bubble sugar and a sand cast sugar heart. The pieces were glued on with melted isomalt.
