Chocolate showpieces!

So, I had planned to do a Super Mario Bros. fire flower for today... but I, and apparently no one else, really, knew that these were supposed to be done in teams. =/ Yeah.... So everyone got paired up (actually I was kind of not pairing with anyone on purpose.. >.>) and I got to work with Sarah and Chelsea on their Alice in Wonderland piece. xD I'm glad I waited because this was probably the most interesting (to me) that I could have worked on. The biggest thing I did was the caterpillar with the hookah. I made the whole thing while Chelsea worked on the mushrooms, cards and butterfly and Sarah worked on the Tree and base. We pretty much each had a focus, but we were still running around and helping each other with a lot of things. xD Oh, yeah, and I got a freeze burnt thumb... nothing serious because it stopped hurting after like 10 minutes but it really burnt!! haha It was because we were using quick-freeze spray and Chelsea went a little overboard on the spraying while I was holding pieces together.

OKAY, Now I'm just going to post a bunch of pictures. :D

Caterpillar! almost done : )


Whole thing in progress.

Done!



Side view.


Back!


My favorite pic cause my caterpillar looks kind of epic up there. xD



For our first time, we were all reaaallllyyyy proud of this. xD At the end the whole class ran out of quick freeze... so all the trees branched were glued on by holding them there, the caterpillar and hookah were basically air dried with the tiny amount that was left in the can with no pressure, and the cards were also just stuck on by hand with no freeze spray. So at the end it was pretty stressful because of that. xD The only thing I don't like is that you can see the white chocolate ("glue") that we used. Need to wipe that up next time before it sets. But, that's what school is for so it's okay. :)
