Melt the sugar

• Place 2 tbsp of white sugar in the stainless steel ladle
• Hold the ladle over heat source
• Stir the sugar with the disposable chopstick
• As the sugar melts, continue scraping the crystalizing candy into the middle of the ladle
• As the sugar is melting, move the ladle back and forth in and out of the heat source, so that the sugar does not burn
• Keep stirring the sugar until it has all melted and caramelized into a light brown color
• Add a tiny pinch of baking soda (literally pinch the baking soda between your thumb and forefinger and add to the ladle)
• Keep stirring until the mixture slightly foams and turns an opaque light tan color

Form the candy

• Pour the candy onto the silpat silicone mat ( You can also use parchment paper)
• Wait for 5 seconds, and then press your flat metal disc onto the candy to flatten it

Emboss the candy with a shape

• Immediately press your shape of choice into the candy

Cut the shape out from the middle of the candy

• Wait until the candy has thoroughly cooled
• Try to break off the outer candy, or scrape with a needle, until the inner shape is released in one piece.

GOODLUCK!!
