Sugar Artistry!

One thing about pastry school is that you never really get to design your own dessert.  You pretty much just make it like the Chef made it.  Which when you have creative juices in you just dying to get out, it becomes very agonizing.  For the first time ever (drum roll please) we actually got to design our own work... and it was a sugar sculpture none the less!  When we first got the assignment, our teacher told us we could do whatever we wanted, and only gave us a height limit.  So my partner and I designed a pretty cool sculpture.  The next day our teacher told us that he forgot to tell us that there was a theme, which was "exotic", and we could only use three colors in our sculpture.  Ummmm, what?  So with little time to actually plan out, my partner and I started our work.  She "worked" on god knows what for most of the time, which I didn't mind because it let me have most of the creative freedom on the project.  So here is our exotic sugar sculpture!  It is mostly mine, the only thing she made on it was the one crazy looking flower on the bottom right hand side.  Everything else I did.





Here are a few close-ups of our work:





And here are the sculptures from the rest of the class... I don't think many of them followed the rules!
