Double batch of Greweling's sponge toffee - changes I made this time - heated the hotel pan in the oven at the lowest oven temp - turned off the oven and cracked the door for the cooling time.  

 

Mixed the bicarb into about 60 grams of glucose so there wouldn't be any lumps - didn't wait the 5 minutes cooling before I added the gelatin and bicarb - just waited until the bubbles stopped.  

 

Looks like it might just turn out to be the best batch ever.  

 

Now I need to find an airtight container big enough to store it in until I can enrobe chunks of it and package it up for the fun fair.  

 

Wish I had my Greweling's book with me here in Jackson, that looks like a fun delicious thing to experiment with...oh well, November will be here before I know it!

Happy to forward you the recipe if you would like.

Beautiful minas6907! I also like the step by step photos, so hard to remember to take progress photos when you are the chef and the photographer. Just wondering, when you make taffy, how are you pulling it? Are you using a taffy hook?

Very nice!  

 

Loving that silpat with the dams on it.

Beautiful indeed.

 

I was wondering about that silicon mat for macarons. I've seen something similar at the kitchen supply store but read mixed reviews. Do you like yours?
