Sugar-Blown Fruit
Wrap the pulled sugar around a blow pipe, inflate it by blowing, and shape it by hand into hollow fruit forms.
Ingredients
pulled sugar body (must be hot and soft)
to taste
Instructions
1
Preparing the sugar body
Press a small hollow into the hot pulled sugar mass, insert the end of the blowing tube, and press the sugar firmly around the tube opening to create an airtight seal.
2
Blowing and shaping
Slowly inflate the sugar while shaping it into a fruit with your fingers. When making round fruits (such as apples), keep the tube tilted upward to prevent the sugar from stretching into a pear shape; when making elongated fruits (such as bananas), gently pull on the sugar as you blow.
3
Cooling and setting
If any part of the sugar wall becomes too thin, use a fan to cool and harden that spot locally. Once the desired shape and size are achieved, use the fan to cool the piece until it is completely hardened.
