Last week we worked on confections! It was super fun and nice to do something different. We worked in teams to make different kinds of caramel. My team made a creamy caramel.

I made marshmallows from scratch!

| Covered in Organic Sugar |

Covered in Cinnamon Sugar
(Unfortunately, the camera revealed all the inconstancies in the cinnamon sugar) |
We also made dragées (nuts with a caramel coating which are then coated with three layers chocolate).
P
âte de fruit was also on the schedule. It is fruity gummy that is congealed with fruit pectin.

I got to make passionfruit gummy rhinos! They were so stinking cute!
 |
| Look at their little faces! |
 |
| Stop it! |
The other students made peanut butter cups and root beer float lollipops.

Everyone had to practice shelling, because we got to do some really cool shelling work at
Feve with Shawn Williams later in the week.

| Practice Shells |
At Feve, we got to design our own chocolate shells using colored cocoa butter (and gold dust). These are pictures the insides of my molds before I shelled them with chocolate.
My shells once they hardened and were turned out of the molds.
And now for a bunch of pictures of shells that Shawn made...
The last two pictures are of shells that my classmates made that I thought were super pretty...
These are so cool!!!
