Spun sugar is often formed into balls or nests to decorate the tops of cakes, tarts, or mousses. You can separate the strands into smaller clumps to make individual spun sugar "halos," or create one large decoration. Spun sugar is fairly easy to manipulate, so don't be afraid to experiment and see what you like!
