Edible Centrepiece Exam Piece
So for our exam, we were tasked to make an edible centrepiece. The restrictions were 40cm x 40cm base, and no taller than 100cm. I decided that I wanted to make something Hobbit-themed, as a gift for my sister and in the end I came up with this. It's a very, very simplified version of the Green Dragon, with Bag End on a hill behind it (inaccurate, but artistic licence!) Sadly, Bag End got squashed really badly on the journey back home so it's gone really wonky. But I did get a distinction so that really made my day!
It was made using gingerbread, sugarpaste, poured sugar, tempered chocolate, royal icing and a little bit of piping gel. There's some little battery-powered flickering tealights inside that glows through the windows and gives the appearance of lights inside.
