This Friday i have a pretty big dinner planned for my best friends and I really need it to shine.We have this thing going on where once a month one of our group has to cook a 3 course meal,and it has to be really really good.

Appetizer and main Course are already selected, and for desert I was thinking a toblerone parfait on a sherry/cream island with asorted berries.
Now there is this one technique i saw lots of pastry chefs use where they use caramelized sugar to form a kind of net. Now i tried doing a net around a small cup,put it into the fridge for an hour, but that stuff just wont pop off. Anyone got an idea how i can remove it,without it taking too much damage?


Just saw now that there is an "L" missing in my Thread Title. Pardon

Medium-rare.

something like this?


Probably should have oiled/greased the cup.

THANK YOU! You are my hero Tinwhistler.

you'll find a lot more links if you google "spun sugar"

This is not one of those kinds of things you can do in advance..spun sugar degrades pretty quickly.

No prob. I'll make it half an hour before guests arrive. And i think that they will survive an hour in a dry cool place.
