A Whole New Box Of Candy

Last week of school for this module, next week we start making bread, but I won't get a head of myself.  yet.

Like I mentioned earlier about the big competitions on TV showing chocolate and sugar sculptures this is art.  We created a chocolate box completely out of chocolate, for the candy that we had already made.  It's amazing how you can sculpt and shape chocolate.

For our box we used both white and dark chocolate.  We created a 7" round box, complete with feet and a bow.






Working with chocolate is VERY temperature sensitive and I really saw that at the end of the last day as I was assembling the box,  I fought with the heat in the kitchen and had to place the box back in the fridge several times as I worked to allow the chocolate to completely set, I am however happy with the final result.


I am aware that I posted a full month of work in a single day... I apologize.  We have started making bread this week.  I will have to be much more diligent since we are making 2 types of bread a day.
