No more chocolate... But... What about some sugar?!

Everything you see here is made out of SUGAR!!!! Crazy, Crazy!!!

It took us 5 hours to make 1 apple, 1 pear, 1 flower, 1 base, 4 leafs, 5 Lillis... FIVE HOURS...

In order to work with sugar and make all this beautiful creations you will need...

1.- Special sugar that will cost you 10-15 bucks a pound

2.-Some water

3.- Colors... 15 bucks a 8oz. bottle

4.- Lamp Set... 600 bucks

5.- Tons of gloves ( to "protect" your hands )

and finally and most important

6.- HEAT RESISTANCE THUMBS!!! yup... thumbs...

-First, melt the sugar with some water, let it reach 340 F

-Add some color

-Shock the pot on an ice bath to stop the cooking proccess

-"Let it cool down" ( you can only work with the sugar while still HOT... like... lets say... really HOT )

- Place under the heat lamp and start playing

.... and after 5 hours and a couple of blisters... tah dah!!!!

see ya guys... thanks for reading our blog... it wasn't that bad playing with sugar after all.
