Hi Etelinia!! The only thing I can think is that maybe there was a bit too much water although it will take approx 15 mins to start to caramalise, so maybe try again with a bit less water. Good luck hope it helps!! Stef le Chef

[Etelinia]

well....I wanted to make carmel and I used white granulated cane sugar ( from sainsbury).20 minutes later I still had white granulated cane sugar. What is wrong with the sugar???? It doesn't turn brown!!!

hey chef, i stay in India n wax paper is not very much available in here. What else can i use instead of it? Can i use trace paper?

[stephanesauthier]

@prash336688 Bonjour Prash! Many thanks for your interest. I should think that clean tracing paper will be fine but suggest that you test out a small amount first just incase. Good luck!

@prash336688 you can also flick it over a rolling pin or a long object and ittl set vertical!

How do I do a Cage style? Can I use a Plastic Bowl for it? :)

I'll be making a Molten Chocolate Cake for a Competition and I'm thinking of designing it with Strawberry Sauce and a Caramel Cage.

@branjobu96 Hello! I am so sorry, I missed your comment - I hope I am not too late in answering if you have already had the competition.... The best thing to use is a stainless steel bowl or the back of a ladle but hard plastic is fine too. Slightly oil it using a lttle veg oil and then just criss-cross the caramel across the bowl. Leave to set for a couple of minutes and then delicately lift it off. Good luck!!

thank you so much for putting the video up. I am in pastry school right now and part of our final in two weeks is a plated dessert. I think that this wil help my presentation tremendously!

Merci! 

[stephanesauthier]

@familyfounder90 Bonjour! Thank you for your kind message. I wish you every success in your finals, I hope your dessert is a triumph! All the best Stef le Chef

[beardiesrfun]

can you make the sugar different colors?

[stephanesauthier]

@beardiesrfun Great suggestion! Yes you can make it different colours by using food colouring, just a couple of drops is fine, but put it in at the start of the process with the water. All the best Stef le Chef

@stephanesauthier Thanks so much for the reply!!!  Really appreciate it.

[stephanesauthier]

Hi, I have never used wax paper, but it should be fine as you are not putting it in the oven. My best advice though would be to do a test run, put a small amount of sugar on the wax paper and leave for 10 minutes or so and then see if it works! Hope that helps! All the best Stef le Chef
