[Sca-cooks] Olwen marizpan handout

[Olwen the Odd]

Once I get it written up I will be happy to send you a copy or either post 
it somewhere.  Actually, Stefan asked too so he may post it up.  I will be 
taking pictures of the stuff I pre-prep and I plan to get someone to take 
pictures of the stuff we do in the class too.  Most of that part will be 
blending colours.  <rant>Actually, that is my biggest complaint with stuff 
that I see entered into modern  competitions, sold in stores or online, or 
even featured in pastery books.  No mottling of colours.  Everything is just 
flat and garishly artificial. <end of rant>
What with Borgar and Francis camping with us, well, perhaps you will get a 
little more instruction from one of them if they sit in on the class.
Too bad you aren't coming to Pennsic
