Spun Sugar
 

Hi,
Has anyone ever made spun sugar? I ordered Kransekake Molds from Fantes
online and after I frost each one, and make the tree, I would like to
further decorate it with spun sugar to resemble Angel Hair or Tinsel on the
Kransekake.
Thank You!
Jo-Ann

Are there any tricks or something I should know before I attempt this?
Was it difficult? I am guessing one has to work fast to get the "threads" of
sugar before it cools too much. PLease let me know.
Thanks so much! Jo-Ann

You have to get the work area and tools read ahead of time and make sure to
be very careful around the caramel. Have a bowl of ice water handy in case
you need to plunge your hand into it. You will have to get a feel for the
process. Avoid doing it on a humid day. If you have an old whisk, you can
cut the looped end off and use it as a tool. Have fun. The ingredients are
cheap, so if you don't succeed at first, try again.

Good luck! I want to try this someday, too:)
