Student Diary: Advanced Pastry Arts, Day 12

A "friandise"--basically, a plate for small desserts. I made it out of pastillage, or sugar dough.




And while I was happy with my pastillage project, I was really wowwed by Marcus' pastillage showpiece, which I called the devil penguin goes to hell.








My little glue gun came in handy. Yes, we used hot glue to assemble these. We could've used melted sugar, but hot glue is easier to work with. It wouldn't fly in a competition setting, though.
