While I made several fun chocolate shapes for ice cream, fruit, pudding garnishes or decorations on a cake, I couldn't help but make a little something for Kaitlyn. She grabbed Mickey and bit off part of his ears and his smile before I snapped the photo, but you see most of him.
We learned to carve ducks and swans out of apples and melons, which was a lot of fun. It's not as hard as it looks, but not something I can explain online. I recommend checking out some of the videos on YouTube if you want to learn.
The wishing well photo is from my cell phone. However, we were pretty happy with how this watermelon carving turned out given that no one in my group had ever carved a watermelon before. The string for the cucumber bucket came undone as evidenced by the photo, but it looked even better when it was tied up by the handle, which actually rotated.
In the next few weeks, we will learn to make sausage, pate, charcuterie, and ice sculptures/carvings (using a chainsaw). Stay tuned....
