| Spun Sugar Candy |
This is spun sugar candy was very interesting--I'd never seen anything like it before. Very thin lines of sugar syrup were drizzled back and forth across sticks resting across the backs of two chairs. It resulted in a cobwebby-thin, lacy candy. I guess if you were ever short on sugar, it was a good way to make a little stretch a long way. It's hard to imagine the pain-staking process of drizzling a steaming hot, sticky liquid back and forth across the poles today!
