This week we are working on sugar confections.

Did you know that melted sugar is like napalm?  Not that I'm, ya know, familiar with napalm or anything.  But jeez it's basically lava.  Anyway, rant aside, sugar is cool because of it's versatility.  It helps to provide structure in baked goods, sweetens our drinks, you can make showpieces with it and my personal favorite, toffee. 

It's kinda finicky but worth it if you have a sweet tooth like I do and a substantial amount of patience. 

This week we have made:

marshmallow

divinity

nougat

dragees

florentines

fudge

toffee

caramel

peanut brittle

I can't remember the rest but I think I almost went into a sugar coma yesterday

BTW- I'll try to post stellar pics of product and the accompanying burns we are able to produce.
