Watch a sugar piece come to life as you learn the basic science of isomalt, a sugar derived from beets. Find out why this compound disaccharide is a more durable and glossier option for sculptures than sucrose. Then learn casting, pulling, and blowtorching techniques and various coloring options, including the use of edible markers, and craft your own decorative sugar pieces to take home.

Please note: New date Saturday, 4/1/23. Make Armenian cookies and coffee while learning about the vibrant, creative culture in Armenia. We’ll knead the dough and learn the technique to sculpt perfectly symmetrical khurebehs, which are traditional Armenian sugar cookies, and mahmours, which are artisan cookies filled with a buttery date and walnut mixture that’s infused with a touch of brown sugar and Madagascar bourbon vanilla. We’ll also make a homemade rosewater infused marshmallow dip and Armenian coffee to pair with our delicious cookies.
