    | 1. Put sugar, corn syrup, and water in a 2-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. | 2. Insert a thermometer and cook the sugar mixture until it reaches 311°F. | 3. Remove from the heat and pour into a medium microwaveable bowl. | 4. Lightly coat bowl that matches whatever you're placing the sugar cage over with cooking spray. | 5. Dip the prongs of a fork into hot sugar. | 6. This is the hard part: carefully but quickly wave the fork over the inside of the bowl, allowing the sugar to drip off fork in long, thin strands. | 7. Try to do the strands evenly on the sides and bottom of the bowl. | 8. Making sure to come all the way to the rim, but not so thick that you can't see the bowl through the sugar. | 9. Using a sharp knife, slice the edge of the cage clean by scraping the blade of the knife along the rim of the bowl. | 10. Let cool for 5 minutes. | 11. To get the cage out: place your thumbs on the outside of the bowl and your fingers on the inside of the sugar cage. | 12. Gently pull the cage loose from the side and bottom of the bowl. | 13. Apply this same pressure all around the inside of the bowl. | 14. After the cage out of the bowl place it over the dessert. | 15. WARNING: If the sugar is still too warm, the cage will begin to collapse. | 16. You should let the cage cool completely first before removing it. | 17. This will make sure it keeps its shape. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
