Is there a way to make a type of spider-web like stuff out of sugar etc? (IOW edible?) Doesn't have to be hollywood grade, but enough to spark a 5 year olds imagination =)

best way to do it i imagine would be with spun sugar, a la something similar to cotton candy

if you can't do that, just check out foodnetwork.com, they have a ton of halloween recipes going on right now that might be up that alley

You mean like cotton candy, but thicker strands?

Yeah-a lot like cotton candy only in threads, etc. I may end up just buying cotton candy and pulling it out as best I can.

How large of a spider web do you want? It might be easier to just roll it than to pull it into strands.

Enough to cover a small area (12-16 sq feet)

licorice rope?

Hire a spider... problem solved.

there's a company, I think it's Charms, that comes out at halloween with a cotton candy specifically named spiderweb cotton candy because it's made to look like it - i don't know if it's only called that because it's white or not, but they do make it available at halloween.

If you want it to look like a real spiderweb/cobweb, your best bet will be the cotton candy.. otherwise like Jen said, go with licorice and make our cartoonized take on a spiderweb.

Create a simple syrup. i.e. sugar and water. fairly thick. like honey

spread out a piece of parchment paper and coat it with pam or a very light coating of peanut or grapeseed oil ( no flavor )

using a spoon create your spider web on the paper. ALLOW TO COOL. do not try and move it.


ideas: you can add food coloring to create different effects

Also you can trace out a web pattern on a seperate sheet of paper and put it under the partchment so you have a pattern to follow.


oops didnt see the size you need.

At forge(10) you can get edible morning dew in SoD. It has a spider silk graphic.

...wait, what? ><

hahahaha

Or.. get a bunch of mirrors or something, scoop a bunch of sugar in a plastic ziploc bag, cut out a small corner of the bag and draw a spiderweb on the mirrors (as if you're decorating a cake!) Assign each kid their own web and give them each a straw. Tell them the first to suck up and eat all the sugar wins teh prize!!! (which could be something like a fake spider or something! Fun!) Do this towards the end of the Halloween party before the kids go home.

jennay would be onto something here if she replaced "sugar" with "cocaine"

really though...

Do you want fucking sugar all over your house?
