Lollipops and Pulled Sugar


Raspberry Lollipops


Chocolate Caramels

Almond Caramels

 Raspberry Gummies

Piña Colada Pulled Sugar Candies
(Yum)

     All of the candy is pretty easy to make and it's fun!  Pulling sugar was really cool.  The outlet I was using at my table stopped working so I had to go work by myself behind a wall.  Some people twisted their sugar with their partners to make fun swirls and mixing flavors.  But I was by myself behind the wall so mine are all piña colada.  They taste good and they last almost too long in your mouth.  Fun day!

Candy

 Mint Candies

Cassis-Pear Pate de Fruit
We made these without a thermometer
and they're a little firm.

Chocolate Nougat
Chewy Chocolate with Toasted Almonds
and Pistachios 

 Marshmallow Lollipop 

More Marshmallows  

And there will be even more tomorrow!

     Tomorrow I'm going to a new restaurant called Next Restaurant.  A classmate was lucky enough to get tickets and needed to find someone to go with him.  Yes, I said he has tickets, it's a whole new kind of restaurant.  Some people are reselling their tickets on craigslist and they're going for $1000!  And the waiting list is close to 20,000 long!  Craziness!  Needless to say I'm excited! 
Exclamation Point!!!

Nougat and Pate de Fruit

Raspberry Pate de Fruit
We weren't allowed to use a thermometer on the 
pate de fruit we made today.  It's setting overnight so in the morning we'll see how eyeballing it worked out for us.
