This is a stain glass window made from hard candy. It was the final project for Mary Ann in the History of Creativity class. We balanced the frame on mugs and strung Christmas lights beneath to make it glow. It was quite impressive in the dark.
It took a good 30 hours (if not more) and resulted in an A for the project, an A- overall in the class. The project was a great experience of trial and error. Eventually we made it all work... eventually. Here are some pictures of the strategies we used to make it work:
Jonathon making the frame for it to be mounted in.
We poured the hot candy directly into molds to fill in the background.
We would cut the hot candy when it was cooled to a tacky stage.
Not all of the candy we made we could use. There was TONS left over. This is probably less than 10%. We went through about 15 lbs of sugar.
