In Construction

Le Délice Halluciné

Artificial cakes, cookies, pastries and ice cream have reached physical scale and frosting studies. Le Délice Halluciné is in construction through sculptural volume and excessive sweetness; no final pastry arrangement yet exists.

Scale and flexibility testing

Artificial pastry forms, resin, foam, silicone frosting tests, mesh, thread, black wool

Sweetness becomes volume.

Artificial pastry forms and scale studies are physically underway. The final arrangement has not been resolved.

CONSTRUCTION / MOVEMENT / CARE

Materials, construction, movement, and handling.

Materials

Artificial pastry forms, resin, foam, silicone frosting tests, mesh, thread, black wool

Weight or current measure

Weight is not recorded for this unfinished work.

Construction

Verified development includes resin and foam scale studies, flexible frosting samples, mesh-backed stitching, and repeated bend cycles. These are construction studies, not completed pastry forms on a final garment.

Wear

Wearability is being tested only on partial panels and a supported dress form.

Care

Store test panels flat, dark, and separated from finished work.

Physical presence

Current studies compare scale, brittleness, flexible frosting, mesh-backed attachment, and repeated bending at potential joint areas.

Decision record

Several frosting samples crack when bent, while larger pastry studies become blunt and obstructive. Those results are directing the next scale and material choices.

Handling and care

Separate test materials from completed work and record any transfer, heat, cracking, or shedding.
