Sugar Sheet Technique Tutorial | Live Decoration tutorial on how to do a Basic Sugar sheet technique

Here's our second Facebook decoration live of 2020. We shared how to make a simple Sugar sheet, this is a Basic version as this is a very new technique that's recently getting popular with cake decorators. We've shared our experiments so far :) and as we develop our recipe, we'll keep sharing the progress as well.
Season 2 - Episode 2 of our monthly decoration lives.
The recipe shared here is:
Glucose syrup - 2 Tablespoons (mel tin microwave for about 10 seconds or use a hot water bath until the glucose becomes a liquid
Caster Sugar - 2/3 cup
This recipe covers about a 1/4 kg cake; double for a half kg and triple for a larger 1 kg cake; please experiment as you may need a larger batch for shapes such as squares or hearts.
P/S: addition - add 1 teaspoon water and 1/2 teaspoon CMC to the mixture (mix it with the Glucose syrup and melt them together). It helps the sugar sheet stay together. Let the sugar sheet set overnight.

N/B:
You can use regular table sugar; though it tends to have large grains and most of it is slightly brown - which shows in the end result.
Caster sugar is better for a neater, smoother and white finish. If you want to color your sugar sheet - pour a drop or two of gel in the glucose syrup and mix before mixing with the caster sugar.
You can also use sanding sugar (colored or plain) if you have it - the finer the sugar crystals the better; though not icing sugar as that becomes a different medium.
All the best cakers as you try this out; remember if you try this technique out and share results by tagging us within 5 days; we have a freebie - a ticket to our Costing and pricing Masterclass for Bakers (Birthday and wedding cakes) that's on February 22nd (9am to 3 pm) at Nairobi CBD, Bomblast Memorial Hall.
