Make Your Own Mints (And Other Tiny Candies)

Taught by j soma

Soma was born in the South, is what someone from the North would say. He cooks for fun, codes for hire, and has more hobbies than can dance on the head of a pin. His work has been featured everywhere from Gawker to The New York Times.

This is an old class! Enjoy the notes, and check out the current courses.

Don't find Altoids to be curiously-strong enough? Let's make some.

Want to make candy without covering your hands in melted, burning sugar-napalm? Sounds good to me!

Gum paste candies have a tragic name but are in fact the best do-it-yourself candy. They're quick to make, easy to flavor, and not terribly likely to injure you.

Whip them into tiny cinnamon altoids, peppermint candy cigarettes, sour lemon sprinkles or a thousand other options. Want to go sugar-free? No problem.

We'll be whipping up a batch of gum paste and fashioning it into your very own custom-flavored candies. You'll leave with some very flavorful confetti.

Note: if it's important to you, this class will be using egg whites!
