I would love to try blown sugar, I just haven't tried yet. This would give us all a push to learn something new, exactly what CC is all about. I think it is a great idea. Count me in.

I was also thinking we could create a special gallery, so everyone could photograph their respective sugar pieces before shipping them and upload them to the gallery, so each individual artist could be recognized, and see how every single piece made up the entire cake.

Hmm, not trying to be a downer here, but sugar doesn't have much life expectancy. Weakens and looses gloss quickly. Might not pack well. Please don't toss me off the board.

We had a cake called, 'Only on a Sunday'. So it would still be pretty, it was only done for a cake served on the same day as it was made. And they didnt' take any orders for anything else on Sunday so they could concentrate on it.

What about a granny square type cake made with tons of granny square dried fondant which would dry well and travel fine. Not quite as glamorous but maybe a bit more success in it.

That's a really great point.

In all honesty I know very little about working with sugar in this medium. So yea, this all could be a terrible and impossible idea icon_smile.gif

Maybe the pros out there that could help me on this one. Is there a way to add a filler or something to the sugar, to make it more sturdy? Flavor and edibility may be sacrificed, since none of the pieces will actually be consumed, but overall is something like that possible?

Oh Jackie, I am watching with great interest, I know nothing about working with pulled sugar so don't know if it is possible, but whatever you decide I would love to be a part of it.

Jackie,
What about using melted Jolly Ranchers in a silicon mould?
