Sugar Sculptures

   Along with working with sugar, we have also been working with pastillage. This is a product that has a consistency like play dough or fondant. You can roll it out and cut out shapes, then let them dry and put them together to create a sculpture. We did this and then added pulled sugar elements. We could either do a sugar rose or a sugar bow; I did the roses. To make the roses, you start with the same sequence for pulled sugar. Once it is ready to work with, you pull each petal individually and shape the way you want. Then you put them all together to create your rose. We also made some leaves and flares to add to the piece. I really liked this sculpture and we had a lot of creative freedom. This was my final sculpture:

And here is a closeup to one of my roses:
