Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

Hot sugar. Hot sugar sticks to skin and burns far hotter than boiling water: don't touch or taste it. Keep a bowl of cold water close, and keep children away while it cooks.
Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Cook six pounds of Sugar, one quart of water, and a small spoon of cream tartar to a soft ball;
set the batch away till nearly cold, then add a little Orange Flower water;
stir until it turns whitish, then pour out in a Caramel pan;
let it remain until cold;
then turn the pan upside down, so the Cream will drop from the pan;
mark it with a sharp knife into small squares;
they may then be broken up.
Several flavors and colors of these Creams can be made in the same manner as above.
