Algernon, An Adventure in Fondant and Sugar

If you are looking for a fun-filled, fantasy project created from edible products...you have come to the right place. Whether you are just beginning or are already a master sugar artist, this book is designed to teach you everything you need to know to build this entire project from concept to completion and to give you skills to take your creativity as far as you want to go with it. If you are a beginner, have patience with yourself, there is a great deal of information to absorb, if you have some experience in these mediums, you will have a chance to hone the skills you already have and build on them. Over 100 photos will take you step by step through building the armature to keep Algernon aloft, making the dragon and sculpting his face, carving and detailing the ship and the characters as well as a crash course in landscaping for the truly desperate. Also included are schematic drawings for the wing structure, boat carving and the center support and hanging rig for Algernon. In addition you will find the recipes that I use for fondant, gum paste and royal icing if you would rather make your own instead of purchasing it. The tools and techniques discussed in this book can also be used and applied to a variety of durable media if you would like to make this project to keep forever.
