Poured Sugar


Today we started the sugar unit. This class wasn't too hard. Basically you cook really clean sugar, water, and glucose until it hits 158*C (very hot). Then you color it and pour it into rubber or metal molds, let it harden, and unmold. Use clear melted isomalt (beet sugar) to glue pieces together and you get a simple to make sculpture of, in this case, an owl! Isn't she cute?!
