Chocolate Candy Stand

we had two days to make our chocolate candy stand, and at first i was very stressed out (surprise) and felt very behind and like i would never finish. but then i ended up having a lot of time left, and i kept adding things. i took a lot of pictures. i was really excited and happy with how it was turning out, but i was also afraid it would fall apart at any moment. it didn't though.


this was it the first time it was finished.





the ringmaster's coat broke, but the arm of it is reattached with chocolate. it looked ok as long as you didn't get too close.





the candy bowl had a circus decoration piped on it before it was molded. later i stuck some little loop decorations around the base of it.



the elephant base was set on acetate to be shiny, and his ear was set on parchment to be matte. i added his eye and tail later.





the monkey lost an arm in a tragic accident. i made him a prosthetic (piped) one and stuck it on.



you can see the base in this picture. the white chocolate is supposed to be like a circus ring. it is a little messy, but it didn't work how i thought it would.
