Confections! (2006-2012)

About how large are the sugar pieces going to be, or will they just vary wildly? Tiny dragons, bumble bees, bunnys, small fawns, fauns for the fairies, pan pipes,Celtic harps... More ideas?

ETA: questions

Obviously there's a red maple leaf - one of the fairies will be wearing it by way of a dress! The sizes of the pieces will vary wildly - I have mushrooms not much bigger than my first thumb knuckle, and the dragon (the largest piece by weight at the moment) is just shy of 3" tall - in the scale of this little world I'm creating, he's about as big as a standing fairy - a smaller nymph could ride him but to a larger one he's like a big dog.

I love the idea of fauns and massive big bumblebees, and all manner of other bugs as well - with the kind of gloss I'm getting out of the gum arabic wash, scarab beetles would be really spiffy, and we get some real jewel-toned ones down here.

My mushroom photos aren't coming out that well this morning - I'll take some later on the whitecloth. However, the fairy is lookin' good!

And here's the second of four dragons (blue is for water; green is for earth. The next two will be red for fire, which will have wings, and rainbow for air, also with wings.)

I hope you are being well paid for this extravaganza. Wonderful little figures, PanaCan.

The decoration charge is only slightly less than the charge for the cake itself. The whole schmoo will come in just under 1G.

Today is for insects!

I look forward to seeing the little critters.

OK, major kudos go out to Judiu. Without your suggestion, I'd never have even thought to ask the question: "how many flying pigs constitute a flock?"

[Panaderia Canadiense]

For those who are curious, apparently the ideal number of flying pigs in a gruntle is five. Here they are!

I love the one lying on its back. So cute!

[curls]

Adorable pigs. Really like the details; fab ears!

[judiu]

Pan Can, may I beg for just one tiny little skunk ? Please!

[Panaderia Canadiense]

Absolutely - he can be with the herd of bunnies on the carrot cake. I've also got dodo birds now....

I'm really enjoying this.

[Panaderia Canadiense]

Hey, make a suggestion and you'll probably get to see it made! My lemon and marzipan pastes are ready for use now - dodos, for example. are lemon critters.

How about a Griffin, Phoenix, or owl?

Strawberry Rhubarb PDF. I realized when I went digging through my stuff that I had brought a big bag of the evil apple pectin - the kind that is for jam, not PDF - so this caused a big of a crisis. I did however have some Pectin NH and some Pectin X58. A little research led me to believe they might work - so I used a 50/50 mix of the two of them in an amount equal to the apple pectin called for in the recipe. I wasn't sure that it was going well (cause one of the recipes called for stopping at 102ºC and I was heading for 107ºC) the entire cooking time. But they turned out perfectly - and they are pretty darn yummy!

that laser thermometer look like ebay one i just bought? cost me £10

“Now, until the break of day,

Through this house each fairy stray.

To the best bride bed will be

Which by us shall blessed be.”

Midsummer Night's Dream by Shakespeare

owls must be in a magical forest and also little people with mushroom hats.

[judiu]

Oooh, Lior and I thought I had a handle on Shakespere! Thanks for the reminder !

[Lior]

my pleasure.

[Panaderia Canadiense]

Lior, now you've made me consider whether or not I can get away with a little donkey-headed fairy..... Oberon and Titania were always going to be on the cake, but I'd completely forgotten about Bottom!

Pana Can, Bottom is tops! How can you forget him?

[Panaderia Canadiense]

Here's the dodo and the sheep (kudos to minas for the suggestion!). Next up, pegasus, unicorns, gryphons, and centaurs!
