Hi,

I did a search on CC, but the links weren't working, so I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how to make edible rhinestones? Are they really difficult to make? I'm making a dog collar (thanks Cheatize for the idea!) for my dog cake and would like to put rhinestones on it.

Any guidance would be most welcome!

hi there, you can make your own using isomalt.
this link shows you the product and how it is used. it is a sugar substitute and if you buy a jewel mould (you can get ones of all different shapes and sizes) you make up the isomalt and pour it into the mould. once it is set you pop it out and there you have your edible jewels! be very careful with isomalt as it gets very hot and can burn badly so wear protective gloves when pouring or using.

this link may help. you can buy isomalt in the US and Canada as far as i know quite easily and any good cake craft supplies will sell the jewel moulds. you can also buy the edible diamonds already made too on line

hope this helps

Thank you!!!

HEre's a site where you can buy them already made: http://www.cakecrystals.com/information.html

Cool! They are only shipping to the US as of now, but a girl can dream (I'm in Canada).

I've seen some on the Global Sugar Art website - literally just looking them up myself

Already made jewels as well as jewel molds and isomalt: http://countrykitchensa.com/catalog/SearchResults.aspx

Wow! Thanks everyone!!
