For me sugar was one of the most challenging mediums to work with. You have the extra challenge if it being a hot product, the need to work quickly, and the fact that sugar can be quite delicate. We learned how to make pulled sugar ribbons, flowers, and blown sugar balls. The pulled sugar ribbon was difficult to handle as I could not work fast enough to form a decent four ribbon strip. But once I got some going you could make a bow out of it. To the left was also my feeble attempt at making a pulled sugar rose. The petals are quite thick and can be way more delicate. Below you will see some examples of blown sugar. The orbs are of varying sizes and thinness too. Chef advised against making orbs that are too thin as they would be far more prone to cracking. Eventually we could move on to making blown and shaped sugar pieces, such as mushrooms, dolphins, fish, etc.
