The proper way to make a caramel nest is to drizzle thin zigzag lines of caramel on the inside of a bowl lined with aluminum foil. Every time I try to do this, my lovely nest breaks when I try to remove it.
You may perhaps be more skilled than I am with this technique but my method is to make the same sort of zigzag in a circle on a silicone liner and then, while the caramel is still pliable, draw up the corners of the sheet to form a nest.
