openwork sugar
Explanation:
Not fundamentally different to the other proposals so far, but it does have the merit of being an "official" translation on the Coupe du Monde de la Patisserie site in respect of Gabriel Paillasson who invented the technique :

He is the initiator of several new professional techniques such as:
- chain saw ice sculpting,
- bubble sugar,
- carbonic sugar,
- OPENWORK SUGAR,
- sugar in 90° proof alcohol,
- Chocolate sprayed with CO².
http://www.cmpatisserie.com/2011/index.php/en/Concours/les-t...

Il est l'auteur de plusieurs nouvelles techniques professionnelles dont :
- la glace sculptée à la tronçonneuse,
- le sucre bullé,
- le sucre carbone,
- LE SUCRE AJOURÉ,
- le sucre dans l'alcool à 90°,
- le Chocolat pulvérisé avec du CO².

I guess "openwork sugar" makes sense when you know what it is, even if I'm happier with the construction as in "openwork sugar bowl" and "openwork sugar tongs".

agree  Gilla Evans: Not much evidence of the use of this expression on the net, but it does have the merit of being self-explanatory, and is what I'd use.
