A fun activity that combines cooking, art, and food

In this episode of GoGreenfields, River and Terran break glass! Don’t worry, it’s not real glass, it’s edible glass; also known as candy glass. Let’s take a look at the process.

It’s cooking

First we have to create our glass. We combine the ingredients; a mix of water, sugar, and honey or corn syrup. After heating it up on the stove, the mixture gets poured into a pan with wax paper. Then, we move on to the next step.

It’s art

Next we have to design our glass. Once the mixture is in the pan, it begins to cool. At this stage it also slowly changes from a liquid to a solid. As it cooled we were able to create designs on the surface of the glass using food coloring and cookie cutters. We were also able to shape the glass as it hardened.

It breaks but it’s good

Once we had our final designs, we let them cool completely and solidify. We compared our edible glass creations as well. Terran’s was a textured piece, and River’s looked a lot like the state of Washionton! We also learned just how breakable they are as River broke one with a 3-inch punch, leaving shards of candy glass on the deck. We didn’t forget the edible part though, because we were snacking happily as our video came to an end!
