Silly Stefan.  No, pressing sugar into/onto molds and letting it get hard.  
I am going to try making a faberge egg.  I will also need some pieces for 
the St. Basil's Cathedral, which will mostly be gingerbread and marzipan.

Take pictures?  Probably I will because I usually do.  The unfortunate thing 
is that I haven't figured out how to post any pictures since I left my last 
job a year ago.  And I have _dozens_ to post!  Heck Stefan, there is no 
telling that no one will even *take* the class.  There are lots of neat 
classes going on that day.
