It's not nearly as hard as it looks. <BR/><BR/>Years ago Martha Stewart did a show where she melted the sugar in a small copper pot, then used a surprise utensil for dripping the melted sugar - a metal whisk. She used some wire cutters to cut the bottom curved part off of the whisk. Discard the cut off parts and the remaining part looks kind of like a broom. Then dip the ends of the broom/whisk in the melted sugar and move it about over whatever you want to cover in spun sugar. <BR/><BR/>That year was the first time I made croquembouche for New Year's and it was amazingly easy.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08018172805489963981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986801201760240722.post-6486899867324566882008-12-18T11:58:00.000-05:002008-12-18T11:58:00.000-05:00An ice cream scoop to make chou pastry????
