Playing with Pulled Sugar

I really like individual desserts and patisseries. Not only do they look delicate, they make you feel like it's been made just for you. For these strawberry mousse cakes I decided to have a crack at making some pulled sugar decoration and guess what.....

...it is SO fun to make. I felt like willy wonka. I coloured mine with the tiniest drop of red food colouring to give it a pale pink hue to go with the mousse, but you could make it any colour you like. You can twist it, twirl it and mould it into whatever shape you like, but just make sure you don't take too long as it sets relatively quickly. The more you pull it, the more opaque it becomes.

The world is your sugary oyster.
