That's a great coincidence I just made some.

In a DEEP pot boil 1 kg of granualted sugar and a littel bit of water to 282*f.
It doesn't matter how much water it's only there to help evenly melt the sugar and will cook out by the time the sugar is ready.
DO NOT add glucose or Acid of any kind.
When it reaches temperature then add 100 grams of royal icing. (The mixture will foam up ALOT stir it a little bit to make sure all the sugar is activated than it will fall.
It will rise again and that's when you need to pour it into a tinfoil lined cake ring.
Let it cool for an hour and than break it up a bit. Let the pieces cool over night to get really hard.
If you wait to break it too long it will be REALLY hard to do.

Afraid its not have gotten rid of most of my equipment not doing it anymore not worth the hassle but thanks for asking. One reason I do not hang on here much anymore. Have pretty much removed all websites and other things relating to sugar work. Its kinda like politics too much contradictory information and most everybody assumes theirs is right. There are some talented people here and I hope someone picks up the crusade and continues it.

Sorry to hear that, but totally understand.
It's a lot of work getting a book together, and even more when you delete 3 weeks of work backing it up on to a corrupt usb drive like i did...ARRRRRGH.

Now time to make bubble sugar.
