there is a site someone posted on premade flowers ect than the price's are so reasonable it's hardly worth making them, and they were pleased with the order, i'll try and find the site, but i would buy those to

I need more of a translucent style. like tiny jems withour any cuts, just a half sphere.

Mmmm, I think that is cake and dazzle. The cupcake with dots that look like wet drops of sugar?

Yes that is the one!! Any ideas on how to make them?

These are what I need, but I am unsure how to make them. This pic is from CakeandDazzle 's avatar.

start w/ a recipe for hard sugar candy

won't need to make much at all

sugar boiled to hard ball or harder stage. ( http://www.exploratorium.edu/cooking/candy/sugar-stages.html )


add bit of red food coloring at start.


dip fork into hot sugar and then allow individual small drops to fall on parchment paper

allow to cool

peel off.

(messy!)

can also fling fork to make "angel hair"

if flung over a half round form can make a nest.

THanks Doug!!!!

For the life of me I coouldn't think of the dripping off of a fork or spoon. GEEZ!! Sometimes the simplest things just get me!! UGGHHHHH. Thanks again!
