Well Old Bay it can encompass a lot. When you refer to sugar work you could mean gumpaste, fondant etc... In this case it is taking a mixture of sugar and water and boiling to a high temp usually around 310F, pouring it out onto a marble surface or silpat. You then turn the molten mass onto itself until it is safe to handle. You then pull the sugar to a silky sheen. I may get reprimanded for this but go to my website at
