I almost drooled at the sight of this! (But I didn't since I think drooling is gross) By the way, is spinning sugar difficult?

Thanks. :] It's different for different people. I took a bit longer to pick it up. The main thing is learning to get the right consistency of the toffee. If you use a candy thermometer (I never do) it's much easier.

It could be, but seldom is. How hard it is does depend on what temperature you bring the sugar syrup to. As you can see by the colour of mine it's not at crack stage. That said, spun sugar is very delicate. Even at crack stage, it will dissolve in a matter of hours if not consumed. In the warmth of your mouth it similarly disappears really quickly. It is possible to be jabbed by a bit if it's really hard and if it hits the right angle and hits you in a really tender part of your gum. Otherwise, it's quite pleasant to eat.
