Jake is one of our apprentices. He takes his skill to the next level by producing a batch of candy of his own design. This is a first in a series of these so you can see how he progresses. This is about how one learns with hot sugar. The flavor is amazing.

exactly what i was thinking. perhaps if he prepared a little less black and a bit more light green, he could use some of that light green as spacers for the seeds. thered be less seeds, of course, but thered be good separation, so he could create a little better of a kiwi design. still a great first draft from him though!

I love the attempt, for sure! If Jake wants to get the seeds to look more pronounced, he should layer the seeds in with the light green color. In an alternating pattern ( like the outer ring of candy canes are ) Not only will that space out the seeds, but he could create two or three rings like this to give it a really strong effect! Kiwis have this kind of like, starburst pattern to them where the light green flesh peeks around the seeds that I think he could do to make these really pop!

They call it 'Journeymen' because back in the olden days thay had to go on an actual several year long journey (referred to as "walz" or "wanderjahre" in German speaking countries, and a "ramble" in English speaking ones.) if they wanted to earn the title of master. They weren't allowed to come within a certain radius of their home town, weren't allowed to own any type of vehicle (be that wheeled or 4-legged), were supposed to get around on foot, or at least not spend any money on transportation, had to live off of their trade by exchanging their labor for food and lodging, had to have a clean record (to discourage the use of these journey years to run away from debt), had to wear a certain minimalistic attire, and could only carry as much luggage as could fit into a 30 by 30 inch cloth bundle. While rare these days, it's still done by a few individuals in a few trades, and these journeys are still officially recognized by trade guilds, though no longer necessary to go from journeyman to master.

@cowboy_henk 3 жыл бұрын

the word "journey" is derived from journée, meaning "day" in French, as they were payed by the day. Journeyman years were a thing, but not a requirement as you're implying, many that finished apprenticeship simply chose employment in their hometown
