The Ice-cream Sundae Challenge

The chief challenge I ’ megabyte going to talk about now is the ice cream ice-cream sundae. With the ice-cream sundae, I had the finish in mind and that was to make it as over the top as possible because from what I heard from my competitors I would need it. My buddy and cousin were truly trying to beat me this time around. The night we were given the challenge I first thought of a shed ice cream and what that might look like. But over the days I began to think of it as a giant star explosive mess. I imagined something that was random, the inverse of perfective. I started off with the methamphetamine skim. The methamphetamine cream itself was the easiest function of the whole visualize — I went with a mint choc bit one alternatively of plain vanilla or cocoa. adjacent step was the chocolate balloons, now it sounds then much easier than it was. Making things look perfect and messy international relations and security network ’ thyroxine easy. now for the hardest part of the unharmed ice-cream sundae, the carbohydrate denture. The boodle plate has a lot of things going on. arrant temperature, superintendent dangerous, alone one luck to get it correct. therefore very hard to do successfully. You ’ ll need a candy thermometer, merely stuff you don ’ metric ton normally have to use. And be prepared to take risks and fail, at least once.

In this post, I write about how I had to think like a scientist to get the plate right ( and be safe ) and how I had to think like a architect to make it like the mind in my question. And at the end the links are below for you to check them out late if you want to try and make your own .

Science _ Getting the Technical Elements Working

There were many layers to consider in the ice-cream sundae that relied on science. retainer for inflame, duration, size and cool were merely some of the variables that needed to be taken into history. To show the kind of guess intelligent that I needed I ’ ve written up the sugar plate in the scientific method. Materials: · 200g Glucose syrup · 300g carbohydrate · 75mL urine · Green and Blue food colouring

· Saucepan, sugarcoat thermometer and baking paper Safety: The carbohydrate had to be heated to 320F : the main risk was you could burn yourself.
– To prevent this : use condom gloves and eye goggles keep a safe distance from anyone else
– If burnt : remove the sugar before it sticks and run under cold water immediately. then apply burn cream. once the sugar set it could break and become shards : the gamble was it could cut you.
– To prevent breakage, keep on a regular platform
– If broken : stand back and clean up with foot protection on and clean up thoroughly. Method:

1. Poured sugar into saucepan on high temperature
2. Poured water into saucepan to help sugar dissolve
3. Stirred until the mixture boiled
4. Added glucose syrup and continued to stir
5. Until it became 320 degrees Fahrenheit
6. Then saucepan is taken off the element
7. Blue and green food dye are added
8. The hot syrup is poured directly onto baking paper
9. Then left to set (about 3–5 minutes)

Results:
Experiment 1: The carbohydrate plate : 6/10 creative, 5/10 functional
Experiment 2: The sugar plate : 10/10 creative, 7/10 functional

Limitations: One limitation of the experiment was the sugar sets very promptly and is very flimsy. This could be overcome by doing multiple experiments to learn what the sugar was capable of. Conclusion: In this experiment, it was found that when you add the food colouring it is best to not mix it in to get a marbled effect. And that you need to pour fast to create an organic human body, and pour a fortune to make it chummy enough. This supported the hypothesis that when we followed the method closely a functional and creative plate could be made .
