Sweet Making & Technique FAQ

Expert answers to common questions about sugar syrup, folding techniques, and storage tips for perfect homemade sweets.

Achieving the right thread consistency is vital. Use the cold water test: drop a small amount of syrup into water; it should form a soft, pliable ball that holds its shape.

Soft Ball Stage115°C
At this stage, the syrup is glossy and thick. If it hardens instantly, it is overcooked. If it dissolves, continue boiling on low heat until it reaches the correct density.
