Baking is all about science so this week 4CC watched as Mrs Walker demonstrated how to make honeycomb. This is not to be tried without an adult, as it involves boiling sugar! However it’s fun to watch, and have a taste, when it has cooled down.

Caramalise the sugar and golden syrup then whisk in the bicarbonate of soda. Watch it fizz!

Can you explained the science behind this?
