The BellaCupCakeCouture has a wonderful webpage with recipes, supplies and for me – a great inspiration.

I was most interested in their sugar sheet recipe.

Well, I’m not into baking (I will have to serve an ambulance along with my cake) – but their cupcakes and other recipes look delicious. It’s the sugar sheets that really inspired me. This is a form of candy that does not require cooking.

This is not the first time I’ve made this type of candy – as this is well known. Usually you can make these candies in a compressed form and dry these (the major problem is drying, but that’s another sotry). What I’ve never seen it before is the use of these in a sheet form. This way you can 3D twist, fold and play with it – it’s wonderful for cake decorations and, well, as candies, of course!

So I ran a small experiment – using their recipe I’ve made a cinnamon sugar sheet. The one you see below!

I used their recipe and got a wonderful cinnamon sugar sheet. At first it behaved like wet sand or sand-playdough – which sounds bad but for me it’s very promising as you can fill a mold with it easily. Then, I dried it in the oven set to 100C for 10minutes and it dried and hardened. It stayed firm yet flexible and moldable, and did not soak moisture when I left it in the open air for 4 days! That is wonderful! Hard candies are very hygroscopic (meaning they soak up water from the air and become soft and sticky) – but this sugar sheet is stable!

I’m very keen on trying the recipe using chocolates, berries, fruits and other organic ingredients – more on that, in future videos. In the meantime – I recommend you check their website.

Have a sweet day,

A very thin cinnamon sugar sheet – I opted for a flat sheet in this preliminary experiment.
