Hello,

I am baking a wedding cake and the bride wants diamantes on the cake to give it a bit of sparkle... what is the best method for this?

I have looked into the edible diamante's available and have decided against them as they are known to loose their sparkle and glaze over if standing for a long period of time.

The other option is to buy non-edible diamante's, with this I can either buy the diamante's on long pins that can be stuck into the cake, or just the heads and stick them on with royal icing.

I am really worried that the caterers won't remove them properly and someone will eat one...!

If anyone has done this before please can someone advise me on the best method?

Kind Regards,

Anabel
