ICING ON THE CAKE Candy Thermometer

Master glossy caramels, silky fudge and perfectly set toffee with the ICING ON THE CAKE Candy Thermometer, your reliable guide to spot-on temperatures and stress-free sweet making. Designed for accuracy and ease, it features a long, sturdy stem that reaches safely into deeper pots and a secure pot clip for hands-free monitoring—so you can stir without juggling tools or risking splashes. The easy-to-read scale clearly marks classic sugar stages—from soft-ball through firm-ball to hard-crack—helping you hit that exact moment for praline snap, marshmallow fluff or honeycomb lift. Equally handy for jams, chutneys and small-batch deep-frying, it takes the guesswork out of everything from caramelising sugar to bringing syrups to thread stage. A top tab makes lifting simple, while the slim profile stores neatly in a utensil jar or drawer between batches. For best results, clip the thermometer so the tip sits in the liquid without touching the base of the pan, give it a moment to stabilise before reading, and hand-wash after use to preserve clarity and performance. Pro tip: do a quick calibration check now and then—dip in boiling water and note the reading—so you can keep crafting confectionery with confidence, consistency and that professional finish every time.
