Erik tells us how to get that broken glass effect without a trip to the hospital (BUT you've still got to be careful!). All you need is cooking spray, corn syrup, sugar, a pot, a pan, cream of tartar, and a thermometer.

    OMG! Yes I love you! ha ha! I that was a bit suggestive.... Anyway I've always wanted to do glass effects. I always thought sheets of ice were the answer, but now I know they are not! By the way how do you get the glass to be less yellow and more white?

  • hmm... the ...

    hmm... the thermometer dropped into the pot at least twice and dumped mercury all over the glass...

    I'm almost wondering if that event (having the thermometer break, spill mercury, and possibly heating it too much) made the sugar glass turn yellow...

  • the cream of tartar ...

    the cream of tartar helps the sugar from crystallizing, that way the glass comes out smooth and even. without it your glass would look like sandpaper

    I've tried making this several times before i saw your video on it. I foudn it a pretty difficult thing to make, easily broken, and definently not clear. I'm not sure what i did wrong, i'll have to try it again after watching your vid. I noticed your glass was yellowish also, was this a mistake, or is that about as clear as sugar glass gets?
