Question from someone who's only worked with sugar twice: When casting or moulding sugar, is there a way to "clean" the edges like you do with moulded chocolates? Oh, can you use royal icing on a sugar creation?

Sorry these are probably very basic questions.

The pieces that I have cast did not have seams. I am sure you could heat a flat blade with a torch and melt it down.

It sounds like when you are demolding the cast sugar you have a sharp "fin" or ridge. If you let the sugar cool down to the thickness of molasses before you pour it this won't happen. Dont' pour around the edges, try and only pour in the middle of the mold and let it ooze to the sides. You should get a nice bevelled edge that way. Other wise you need to heat a flat knife and polish it out.

PS
Wearing gloves does two things

Heat is one of them and the other is that the moisture from your hands can cause to sugar to crystallize.

What is the wooden-looking "tube" that the sugar blob is stuck to? Would a metal turkey baster work for making these?

Some people use a blood pressure pump. I use a sports ball pump. It is Plastic.
