My moms friend wants me to make a bridal shower cake for this weekend. It has a diamond on top, I was going to buy a large glass diamond from hobby lobby but if I could make it out of sugar or something comparable that would be better. How do I do it? What molds are best and what is the recipe? Thanks!
You need to use isomalt instead of sugar and get the mold in the size you need, IMHO if you are not familiar working with sugar, I think it would be easier just to get the Cristal from HL
I mean not that it can't be done but sugar has a learning curve--if you're already doing the cake, I'd pratice sugar another day.
It's not just another substance like fondant, candy clay or marzipan it is temperature & moisture sensitive in new ways to learn how to handle.
To be the crowning glory of your cake in a few days--I don't know even where to find a mold big enough--I'm thinking maybe a three inch, or five inch size gemstone? They probably don't have those at any local store to me--you'd have to make the mold or have it made.
Too much drama not enough time.
You'd do better to make a bunch of small chocolate gemstones--the molds can be purchased locally @ your cake store or craft store, and paint them with luster dust, and mound them up on top of the cake .
Chocolate molds are availabe in abundance--sugar molds are available though not as many designs.
