Class Freezes Over

Js finished the first part of the CAD II (Culinary Arts & Design II) last week. We learnt how to create beautiful sculptures out of frozen water. We were taught 3 different types of ice sculptures.. trays, alphabets and free form ice sculptures (in 3 weeks). The lecturer will basically show us how to do the sculpture and then it'll be our turn to do it.

The classes were always freezing cold and wet! But we loved and enjoyed every minute of it!

WEEK 1 - Intro & Trays

We had to make 3 trays..

a bowl, a leaf-shaped tray and a long rectangular tray..
