Instructions

1: Put the golden syrup in a pan and heat gently until it has liquified and coats the base of the pan.

2: Sprinkle the caster sugar over the surface and stir together.

3: Place the pan back on medium heat for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the caramel has reached an amber color.

4: Use a spatula to make splodges, dabs, and strokes on a piece of silicone to create flames.

5: Return the pan to the heat to color the caramel more if needed for deeper amber flames.

6: Sprinkle the flames with edible glitter before the sugar fully sets.

7: Leave the flames to cool and set before removing from the silicone.

8: Use to decorate your bakes straight away or store in an airtight container between sheets of non-stick parchment.
