This manual is designed to form a comprehensive course in the art of sugar boiling and confectionery skills. The manual covers essential techniques required for the most elaborate work in boiled sugar work, most suitable for the kitchen chef, confectioner and a good start for the young apprentice or student taking NVQ qualifications.
The text, concise methods and step by step illustrations explain how to produce the centrepieces with ease and confidence.
Considering the merits in the art of sugar boiling, I confess at once that it would be simpler for me to give you a practical demonstration of making a centre piece than to explain in writing and by illustrations my methods of procedure.
I hope, however, that, by careful attention to the description that follow and to the many illustration of examples, the majority of which were completed since the completion of my apprenticeship as chef Patissier and Confectioner nearly 45 years ago.
