Artsy sugar highs from SHF

The theme for the last month's Sugar High Friday, the popular sweets-based global food blogging event, was Sugar Art. Hosted by Habeas Brulee, the theme required that participants work with sugar in some capacity beyond just sprinkling it on top of things or stirring it into batter and use it to create a dessert that was a real work of art. As usual, bloggers stepped right up to the challenge and created a round of very impressive desserts. Danielle, the hostess, made some Cardamom Meyer Lemon Creme Brulee Bubbles (pictured), airy mouthfuls of sweetness that would make any molecular gastronomist proud. Other entries included Cranberry Mousse from Seriously Good, Bouche De Noels from Tsokolate!, A Finger in Every Pie and Vers l'absurde. El Bulli's Frozen Chocolate Air was submitted by Hungry In Hogtown and Riana, from For The Love Of Baking, made a standout Gingerbread House. Check out all the entries in the roundup. And save some room for the next round of SHF!
