REPORT: Sigep Competition for artisan ice cream,

[Lior]

I didn't know if this is the appropriate place or the Food Culture forum, but anyhow, here is a link to the Organization:

Sigep

My colleague and acquaintance, Maya Stern, participated in an international championship for artisan ice cream, bread and pastry in which over 10 countries participated. Germany won first place, Israel 2nd (Maya's statue) and Mexico 3rd place. Here is a picture of Maya's statue. The topic was to create a statue of a monument in one's country. Maya chose the Recanati Synagogue:

The statue is all edible and made from baked dough and sugar!

editted for typos and re editted for adding info - I'm tired, sorry!!!

This is just beautiful, and must be simply stunning in real life. Thanks for sharing this---the golden light just beams, and the proportions and workmanship---lovely.

Even more so now that I've looked it up and seen photos---the recreation of the symbols and letters on the doors is really well done. Do you have a back view of the graceful curves?
