Decorative Sugar Bowl
This is a impressive little piece of sculptural sugar that will make you feel like a badass in the kitchen. Keep in mind that you’re heating the sugar up to a molten 310˚F which is super hot and it can burn! Keep a bowl of ice water around in case you need to plunge your hand into it. Otherwise it’s not difficult at all. One thing to take not is that that the bowl is a translucent honey yellow. That’s because I ran out of regular granulated sugar and had to resort of organic evaporated cane sugar. If you want to make a bowl that is more translucent clear, be sure to use regular white granulated sugar, and not the organic kind. The organic sugar has impurities that will color the bowl.
