This class is suitable for all skill levels! (Please see age restrictions below.)
Join Sidney Galpern of Simi Cakes for this fantastic foray into all things Isomalt! In this class you will learn the fundamentals of working with isomalt to create a beautiful undersea isomalt sculpture. (You have the choice of either one large or two smaller sculptures for Dynamic Duos.)
Isomalt is a sugar-free hard candy, that we can heat to pour into molds, pull to sculpt with, or use for blown sugar techniques. It is slightly sweet, and holds up better than sugar to humid environments.
We will be covering a wide variety of topics in this hands-on workshop, including casting into molds, pulling and hand sculpting, blown isomalt bubbles, abstract isomalt techniques and accents, structure, stability, safety, coloring, flavoring, painting, impressioning, overcoming humidity, and MORE as each student assembles a unique under the sea themed sculpture. You will leave this class with a strong isomalt knowledge base to recreate these techniques in your own kitchen right away.
This class is suitable for the following Dynamic Duo* types:
YES: Parent/Grandparent & Child (14+ only as this is boiling hot liquid.)
YES: Couples
YES: Friends (You can make one large sculpture or two smaller sculptures.)
