Method: Sugar Art

Step 1:

Combine the sugar and water in a small, heavy saucepan. Stir over low heat until the sugar dissolves.

Increase heat to medium and cook (without disturbing) until the caramel reaches a very light amber color (watch carefully, as this will happen very quickly). Use a pastry brush to brush the sides of the pan with water to prevent crystallization. Remove caramel from heat immediately.

Step 2:

Allow caramel to cool just until very, very thin wispy strands form when drizzled with a fork. Dipping your fork repeatedly into the sugar mixture, whip the strands of sugar back and forth quickly across the rolling pin being held in the air over wax paper to form long, hanging strands of sugar.

Step 3:

Repeat until you have accumulated enough sugar to pick up with your hand. While it is still pliable, grab the two ends of the sugar and bring together forming a fluffy, free-form shape. If the caramel hardens too much as you work, place back over low heat just until it begins to loosen up a bit.

Step 4:

On top of the frosting swirl place three fresh raspberries in the center and gently lay the small sugar nest on top.
