Delicate flowers

Last week Josh got a compliment he wasn't expecting: He was praised for his delicate flowers. Apparently big guys like him can't usually make the small flowers--but he did! This was all part of wedding-cake week. The class made traditional French wedding cakes--called croquembouche ...

This is Josh's croquembouche from two angles.

And then they made cakes that are more closely tied to American and other cultures, though you'd be hard-pressed to find anything quite like this in the U.S.

 Josh with his masterpiece. They worked for days on these.

Delicate flowers indeed!
