The Chemistry of Confection


SummerFun! / High School -
SummerFun! 2026

Sugar fiends and science geeks rejoice! Conduct sweet experiments ranging from sugar basics to advanced molecular gastronomy. Explore spherification with sodium alginate and calcium chloride, dessert foams from nitrous oxide and proteins, and how sucrose levels, glucose, and baking methods can affect the flavor, texture, and density of your treats. Make madeleines and Armenian khurebehs, blow sugar bubbles, and turn chemistry into dessert.
