Ingredients for making sugar decorations for desserts:

Non stick cooking spray
Instructions for making spun sugar decorations for desserts:
- First things first, you need to make some caramel.
- This is really simple, just add sugar and a little water to a pot and turn the heat on to medium
- Allow the water to hydrate the sugar as much as possible without stirring it
- If there are still lumps of dry sugar, you can gently shake the pan the mix it in
- As the sugar bubbles away, some crystals will start to form on the inside edge of the pot
- To remove these, all you need is a brush and a little cold water to gently brush down the sides of the pot
- The colour should start to darken after a few minutes
- Resist the urge to stir it with a spoon but if you sense that it’s cooking unevenly, you can lightly swirl the mixture every so often
- Once you have a rich caramel colour, remove it from the heat
- Now it needs to cool slightly before you can start to work with it
- For these first decorations, take a small spoonful of caramel and drizzle it a few inches above a piece of parchment paper
- Move the spoon around to create whatever shape or pattern you want
- This should give you a good feel for the consistency of the caramel and you can have fun making up new shapes and patterns
- It's a great place to start when making caramel decorations
- Once you’ve mastered that, you can move on to the next decoration
- For this you’ll need a long piece of parchment paper sprayed with non stick cooking spray
- Again take a spoonful of your caramel but this time hold the spoon higher above the parchment paper and rapidly drizzle from side to side
- The idea is to get long thin strands of caramel
- Now quickly use a pallet knife to gently loosen the caramel from the paper and carefully gather the strands together
- You need to work fast here to ensure they stay malleable
- You should be able to gently roll the gathered strands into a loose circle which has a gorgeous delicate look
- For the next decoration you’ll need a ladle generously sprayed with cooking spray
- Now holding the ladle upright drizzle the caramel in thin strands back and forth across the back of the scooped end
- You want to criss cross the strands to create a delicate caramel cage
- After a few seconds, the sugar should be hard enough for you to gently slide it off the ladle
- For this last one you want your caramel to be quite a bit cooler than before
- It should also be much thicker and you should be able to carefully pinch off a piece and pull it out to create a strand of caramel
- Now position a lightly greased wooden spoon under the strand of caramel and use your thumb to hold it in place
- Slowly, making sure to keep a consistent strand, wrap the caramel tightly around the handle
- Once you are satisfied, break off the ends and very carefully slide the caramel spiral off the end of the handle
- Now you have a beautiful and fun decorations for your favorite desserts
