*There is some debate as to the actual origins of these delicious pastries…some say they were created by a Danish Pastry Chef and was first served on the occasion of a state visit by the French emperor Napoleon. Others claim the pastry was first created by an Italian chef in Naples who named it "napoletano" after his city, and the name was later corrupted to "napoleon" in English. Did you know the first written record of Napoleon Pastries is in an English Cookbook written by a French Chef in 1733, but the first mention in a French Cookbook wasn’t until 1749…hmmmm!?!

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
