In a medium-large size (tall) pot, mix together sugar, corn syrup and 1/4 cup water. Heat over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a boil. Let it simmer for ten mins at low heat, Do not stir the sugar mixture. The boiling sugar mixture will stir itself.

Remove from heat and let sit for a minute or two, the bubbles should slow down. Add the bloomed gelatin and whisk.

Now sprinkle the baking soda over the sugar mixture and whisk vigorously. Return mixture to
the heat and continue whisking for 30 seconds. The sugar mixture will rise up in the pot, nearly double in size
