> In this illustrated lecture, renowned British food historian Ivan Day outlines the evolution of sugar sculpture and other forms of table art from the Renaissance to the 18th century. Beginning with gilded sugar coins distributed at 15th-century Italian wedding feasts and continuing on to papal displays of sugar sculpture, he introduces the materials, equipment and methods used by past masters of such edible ephemera.
