    Spun sugar is that fancy stuff that adorns the top of great looking desserts. It might look quite difficult but with a little practise is actually quite straightforward. In this demonstration video, I show you how to melt the sugar correctly and make a sugar nest, a basket and a twirl. Have a go as the rewards far outweigh the difficulty and soon you'll have professional looking desserts to show off!

    Incredibly helpful! so many how to videos on this topic make the assumption that you have experience with this and just give you a recipe. Very simplistic instructions... Perfect!

    I think this video was brilliant, best one I've seen. You very clearly explained how to make the toffee and helped me make an (almost!) perfect croquembouche. Thanks

    Thank you! Yours is a lot easier to make than some others. Other people say use caster sugar to pan and add water etc..... so much harder. Thanks again 🙏🏻

    Ashamed to say I have never bothered, but this is easier than I thought. I will definitely be giving this a try. Love the corkscrew shape.

    Hi there. There's no need to put anything on the ladle before you add the caramel. As long as the ladle isn't hot, like you've run it under a hot tap, the ladle will be colder than the caramel. This means that the caramel will set as soon as it touches the ladle, and it won't stick. I hope that this helps and thanks for the comment. The Amateur Chef.

    I think it was great. People, why so picky?! You want a "Professional" video then go pay for it. This video is here as a free guide. There's no subtitles, it's not a grainy video, it's in english, and it covered alot. So the volume is a little off...turn your volume down. The video is exactly what it was suppose to be...a tutorial. I subscribed ~ Thanks.

    Thanks so much for this video. I got it in my head to make simple sugar shapes to decorate a cheesecake with, but it's been so long since my pastry course I wasn't at all confident about it. I had you video playing as I worked and they came out beautifully. Thanks again.

    Nice video ,not quite understand why there're a few negative comments.
    I do have a question though which is why some ppl add a bit water to make this? what's the difference? thanks

  • @Beatuy1016
    @Beatuy1016 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I was thinking the same thing, but as long as you aren't rushing there isn't too much danger of that. A bowl will usually have some sort of foot on the bottom that would show up in your sugar and is also usually bigger. But if you want a bigger one then a bowl would defiantly work.

    I LOVE this video. How fun and fantastic. Just one thing......I HAVE AND HATE MY DARN EXPENSIVE ELECTRIC RANGE. I live in Florida where most homes were built to accommodate electric. WHAT A MISTAKE. I can never get the results that I want without gas, and as I cook a lot, it is so exasperating! I will, however, try this for mY next deserts. THANK you so much for this!

    just a tip , a heavy bottom stainless pot works much better , its common among chefs and pastry chefs that you never stir melting sugar you will increase the risk of it crystallizing

    I think if you add water it wont go as brown, it stays more clear because it takes longer to melt. He melted it very quickly and so it caramelized.

    Tips:
    -Sometimes the caramel isn't quite as "pure" as it need to be and starts crystallizing. To avoid this, add a tablespoon or so of corn syrup.
    -If you don't want the remaining caramel to go to waste, add some heavy cream. Now you have delicious caramel to add you your icecream or what have you.
