Hi all I am new here. Still learning all the cool techinques. I have been asked to make a hummer cake. I have most of the details down but wanted to figure out a cool way to make the windshield?? I did not want to use luster dust on fondant because I want it to look different than the chrome accents on the car. Any suggestions?? I have ready some peoples other threads suggesting gelatin or poured sugar but have no clue how to do either. THanks in advance

Here's a link for the gelatin method-I would give that a try.

I'd do the gelatin. I have a chevy mud truck due next month (Ohhhh I sooo dont want to do it! LOL ) and thats what I plan on using.

are you going to tint the gelatin for the truck windshield?? thanks

I'd use isomalt or use a regular sugar recipe. I used it for a magnifying glass and liked the look.
