Butterfly Aspic

This was my first project for Garde Manger. It is a butterfly made with colored aspic (unflavored gelatin) and then coated in clear aspic. Not only did we have to make our own theme, we had to use a minimum of four colors along with a combination of cutout cutters and freehand to cut the gel with. I mostly used freehand. After the project was graded (I got an A!) we had the option of tossing it, taking it home or leaving it at the school to use with our final presentation. I cut out the butterfly, covered it and put it back in the refrigerator. I'll probably use it on my final table but where you see the green as the background will be clear instead. I'll have to get a picture taken of just the butterfly and post it for you.
