Pulled sugar? Just make a simple caramel, spray a few 8 oz ladles with Pam or th like and drizzle the hot caramel all over with a fork. If you have a beat-up wire whisk, you can snip the ends off of the whisk and dunk that in the caramel.

I have Notters dvd. He coats the back of a ladle with oil and uses a spoon. dipped in the sugar. coat the edge of the ladle first.then stripe the ladle with the sugar one way . then 90 degrees stripe again.the sugar on the lip gives it suport.

I've never seen it done as a pulled sugar technique. Generally, as others have commented, the liquid caramel is drizzled onto the backside of a ladle, allowed to harden, and gently peeled off.

For a full cage, two such domes are made, and fitted together.

Grease  (pam) a stainless steel bowl, depending the size of dome you need , and quickly drizzle lines from one end inside the bowl to the other then what I do are circles , creating a "web"  look, for a sturdy cage just use more lines.
Let the sugar harden and slip it out of the bowl. It only takes a minute a cage.

Simple caramel....no big tricks to it. But I suggest you practice first.

nice yeah i seen this done and was gonna do this myslef. i think you just cook the sugar till its caramel stage and just pur over a mold or whatever you got. this kid did it for this throwdown we did at school,lol. but if you just take sugar and some water and put a bowl on top and let it cook until its caramel and do it quick. the bowl is their so it doesnt stick on the sides instead of having to use a brush.

This is what I was talking about....found the video. You an use the back of a large laddle too, or you can use the outside of a metal bowl.
Its all up to you.
There are two sugar techniques here.....actually, its endless what you can do with sugar. I am trying to do roses still.....
