Edible blown glass made of sugar

Aureole is a restaurant that I will likely never be able to afford to eat at. Thanks to Serious Eats, however, I can vicariously visit through this behind the scenes photo slideshow. It?documents how Aureole uses glass-blowing techniques to make little sugar globes to decorate their desserts.

It’s amazing. And why Aureole is so expensive. Think of the labor costs!
