We're mostly making flowers by extruding substances through a pastry bag.
As I understand it, sugar plate is mainly sculpted or molded with in a mold made
of wood or other hard substances. The fondant class we're doing on Thursday
seems to be closer to this than the other class is. I really need to see sugar
plate done right before I try it, just so I know what I'm shooting for.
I decided we needed to take the flower class when we took on the next Twelfth
Night with the mythology theme. LOTS of Greek Myths involve the origins of
flowers - Narcissisus is on my list.
Here's another inspirational vision:

Maybe the chariot of the sun, driven by A-Pollo? <grin, duck, run>
