    Same problem as the candy floss, it loses its integrity quite quickly around moisture. If there's a way to make it, I'll find it!

    What about liquorish strands... red or black ones

    I could tell you there is even worse. Such as people abusing their children over nearly two decades (obviously, if they are a child until 18) regularly and repeatedly throughout as part of some family ritual that the child doesn't even know is wrong, and involving both parents and other members of the family.

    I just ask where are people's eyes unopened? And, if it has shocked you, your eyes were not open. It's an absolute extreme, fortunately, and the worst case imaginable but it is not non-existent although it is fortunately extremely rare. I would hope anyway - there is far too much abuse that is/has been not known about and we talk about "stranger danger" but most danger comes from people who are in a family. It's probably more rampant and widespread that we would hope, as various abuse inquiries seem to be sadly uncovering (or maybe it's good that they are uncovering it to try to stop it again). I suspect there is an awful lot of abuse out there, far more than our society would want to admit to. I would hope that the vast majority of us were still good though, and I'm sure we are.

    What about making a doughnut (or donut for TM) mix, and then squirting it into the hot fat with a syringe? If its no got for a cake, I will gladly try it :D

    Make sure you let us know how it goes, even if it does not work, as it looks dead interesting.

    Hopefully Shannon has had a lot of professional help to get through the trauma. The fact that there is now a programme about it shouldn't harm her as she will already be aware that her mother's actions were so extreme.
