Hi Everyone,
I am curious to know what is used and how to create bases for cakes with sugar that is boiled...coloured then poured to create a water effect or what have you? I have seen it done on Food Network....wont mention any names of shows....cough....cough....duff....cough.....lol
I am not experienced in working with sugar (pulled, blown or otherwise)...
Gee that didn't sound to good. ..lol
Could I get some tips or where I should start learning on this art form.
I do own candy thermometers...

When I need a water effect I simply put blue color into piping gel and paint it on.

Ditto. Welcome to CC, you will find lots of great information here and lots and lots of very helpful people.

Ya I have done water many different ways.....but thats not really what I am asking.......I want to know if anyone knows where I can get information on doing that kind of technique with sugar.....?????......Or even what its called????

It sounds like you just want to make a lollipop-type glass effect with sugar. This site has advice on how to make "hard candy" which is just boiling sugar until it reaches 300 degrees.

[sorry, I've tried to add the whole site but the board gremlins keep deleting the baking9 11 part of the address. You'll have to copy/paste this in by hand and then delete the space]

There are instructions for making a slab of clear lollipop slab here:

If you put blue food coloring in it, you'll get a blue clear sheet of hard sugar candy. Is that what you had in mind?
