$229.00 (Includes Lunch)
Join Sidney Galpern of Simi Cakes for this fantastic foray into all things Isomalt! In this class you will learn the fundamentals of working with isomalt to create a beautiful undersea isomalt sculpture. (You have the choice of either one large or two smaller sculptures for Dynamic Duos.)
Isomalt is a sugar-free hard candy, that we can heat to pour into molds, pull to sculpt with, or use for blown sugar techniques. It is slightly sweet, and holds up better than sugar to humid environments.
We will be covering a wide variety of topics in this hands-on workshop, including casting into molds, pulling and hand sculpting, blown isomalt bubbles, abstract isomalt techniques and accents, structure, stability, safety, coloring, flavoring, painting, impressioning, overcoming humidity, and MORE as each student assembles a unique under the sea themed sculpture. You will leave this class with a strong isomalt knowledge base to recreate these techniques in your own kitchen right away.
This class is suitable for the following Dynamic Duo* types:
YES: Parent/Grandparent & Child (14+ only as this is boiling hot liquid.)
YES: Couples
YES: Friends (You can make one large sculpture or two smaller sculptures.)
*What is a Dynamic Duo? It’s basically two buddies sharing the same workstation at no extra charge.
We provide all ingredients, supplies, equipment and tools required for use during each class. Aprons, recipes, pens and stools will be provided. Best of all you get to take home whatever tasty treats you make - we provide all boxes/packaging too!
Please wear CLOSED TOED comfortable shoes (e.g. sneakers/runners/flats) and have long hair tied back. For the comfort of all our students and staff, we ask that you refrain from wearing strong perfume or cologne. You may wish to bring a cardigan or sweater as the kitchen is kept at 68F.
