It's not simple syrup, it's spun sugar.

yeah, it's definitely not simple syrup.

I think you want a caramel cage, I do it on the back of a larger commercial ladle not a bowl, it gives you a handle to hold on to. You can also do it with a sphere mold, elevate it upside down on a can or something.

I make sure the ladles are cool, coat them very lightly with oil once (not too much or the caramelized sugar will slide off). Let the slightly cooled caramelized sugar run off a spoon and in patterns on the ladel in your pattern of choice. Trim base as needed with a hot knife.
