Thou shalt clean your creative space, aka kitchen. Creating in a clean space is THE MOST IMPORTANT COURTESY. I say courtesy, because we are trusting each other to keep a clean space while creating delicious confections to share with our loved ones. Clean counter tops, clean aprons, clean clothes, clean equipment, clean spaces.
Thou shalt wash your hands, thoroughly, like a surgeon, under your nails and everything. It is extremely important to keep your hands clean by washing them several times throughout the candy making process.
Thou shalt keep your hair up/back. Keeping hair tied back in a bun is great, or if your hair is too short to get into a bun, it’s best to wear a hairnet. Doing both is also an option if your hair doesn’t like to behave. Beard nets are also a must for facial hair.
Thou shalt keep nails short, no polish, no faux. If you prefer to keep your nails long, you will need to wear gloves. I keep gloves on hand during classes, but you may want to grab a box of fitted, food safe gloves, best for your hand size.
Thou shalt not create candy while contagious. If you have a seasonal cold/flu, please stay home while you are in the contagious, yucky part. Sometimes a cough can linger, but you are no longer actually sick. In that case please wear a mask while candy creating. Please contact me for a Zoom link to any class you would have to miss due to illness.
