A second way to serve panna cotta~ I spooned raspberry coolis directly over it and placed a "cage" of sugar over it.

The sugar "cage" is made by boiling a sugar-water mixture until it is golden brown, dipping a fork into it and erratically moving it over a well-oiled bowl.

I've never used a greased bowl before when making a cage, but your's looks divine, so maybe I'll try it out. C:

I find using a greased bowl makes it easier to remove the cage without much breakage. @____@; This was my second time making it, so I really can't say much about sugar cages... >3<;;;

I'm kind of a beginner myself at making them. Did the cages hold up well? Usually when I do sugar work with spun sugar or cages, I find that they melt by the next day or so. :/ I'm not sure if oil would have any effect on the sugar?

~sorekara Oct 15, 2009

The cages actually held up pretty well~ even with the coolis touching the bottom. >_>;; Waa, that happens to my spun sugar too! I wonder if there's a method to extending how long they last. -strokes nonexistent mustache- Hmm~ I've tried looking up the effects of oil on hardened sugar, so far I've found nothing. >3<;;

~ColdomadeusX Oct 14, 2009

That looks divine!
I love the sugar cage-have never made one before; not hard?

~sorekara Oct 15, 2009

Thank you~ >3<;; Haha, the sugar cage thingy isn't that hard, just swirl some melted sugar on a greased bowl, wait for it to harden and take it out~ =]

~ColdomadeusX Oct 17, 2009

Cool thanks!
Does the sugar have to be a certain temperature of can I just do it once it's turned golden?

~sorekara Oct 17, 2009

Haha, no problem~ since I don't have a candy thermometer, I use the color of the sugar as my guide. I'd turn off the heat when it turns a light golden color and then continue stirring for a bit until the color darkens and the mixture stops bubbling. (You can test if it's ready by taking a spoonful of the melted sugar and dripping it into a bowl of cold water. If turns into a droplet of hard sugar, then you're ready to make the cage! =])

Sorry it's taken me so long to reply!
Thanks very much for the instructions!
