I'd love to see them as well. Some of my favorite Food Networks shows are the ones where they work with sugar.

Hi! I'm a little naive about sugar work. What is it?

[Sugarcreations]

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

Hi! I hope you enjoy our community, i've learned a lot since being here. I like to bake too - do you have any specialty recipes you could post?

Hello sugarcreations, I have a high respect for people who are patient enough to do sugar, it is one very hot substance. I too would like to try it someday, but I think that I might not have enough patients. I will enjoy others work until I dare to try.
