TECHNIQUES AND ARTISTRY IN SUGAR

November 21, 2013

To get more practice with our techniques, we made another rose piece.  This time we worked with Isomalt instead of regular sugar.  Isomalt is a sugar that has been chemically altered to withstand moisture so the piece will last long without crystallizing or falling apart quickly.  The Isomalt was cooked at a bit higher temperatures but the techniques for pouring and pulling the Isomalt were the same as sugar.
