Description:
You’d be surprised but teens love cooking! This is a great book to accompany
Iron Chef or Gummi Surgery programs. Teens love food, especially if candy is
involved so what could be more fun that taking everyday store bought candy and
creating edible masterpieces you can play with before eating? A nice
introduction gives some background on constructing with candy and includes some
recipes for frosting mortar, glue icing, etc.
Opinion: This
book will cause a sugar overload! While many of the projects are solely for
home constructing, there are a very that can be used in a candy program (such
as jewelry). It includes chapters on moving objects, flying objects, holiday
objects, and unnatural objects. Favorite projects include the Fudge Brownie
Steam Train (made with brownies, Ho-Hos, and peppermint pieces), the Formula
One car (made of Oreos, Hersey pieces, fruit slices and candy berries), and a
gigantic wafer cookie castle!
