I have been asked to do tiaras for a birthday party. Customer wants more of a "bridal, delicate" look-not the crown one. I have my cookie design all set, just looking for a way to create "jewels" or the "sequin" look on it. Any ideas all of you great cookie decorators?

Sanding sugar or sugar flakes maybe put on with piping gel. I've never tried it, but If I had to this is probably what i'd do.

Are we still allowed to use dragees?

that is so neat! thanks for the great idea!

Yes, PLEASE let us know how you like them! I wonder how they taste and what they're like to bite into on a cookie. Also, are the sizes good for cookies. I thought about ordering some, but at 1/4" thick, I thought I'd wait to see what you think.

I wonder if you could make your own out of the ingredients you use to make suckers ... or blown sugar. Has anyone tried this yet?

If you could find a small mold, I'm sure that you could make them out of candy... its just about finding or making the mold. I did some more searching, and I just couldn't find any small edible rhinestones or jewels. Someone should really make them and market them... any takers!?

That site is gorgeous!! But I've heard piping gel doesn't set hard enough for packaging cookies. Any other suggestions?

I think the jewels on her jeweled rings look really nice just with the luster dust. I wonder what they're made of underneath the dust though?

I used crushed Jolly Ranchers for the 'treasure' in my pirate cake. They looked great because the cracked edges were even more sparkly than the whole candy pieces. I also added tiny fondant balls to a store-bought plastic crown and painted them with pink luster dust and then added a sprinkling of sparkle (glitter) dust - NOT the flake kind. That turned out really pretty and very delicate looking. Its on the pink pillow cake in my pics if you want to see how 'jewel-like' they looked.

Lambshack-your cakes are terrific! I love the way that treasure looks and will most definitely keep the picture for when I need to do one!

You all rock!!! I knew that there would be lots of solutions offered...
I ordered some pink ones-if they end up not being the right dimensions I need, (I haven't decided on the size of the cookies yet) I think I will use Lambshack's fondant with luster dust method.(Your cakes are amazing by the way!!!) For future reference I will look into Chef Jeff's candies.
Thank you all very much!!!

Yep, I've got em.
They are 100% isomalt so they stand up well in most conditions and they take colouring really well with lustre dust. There are pictures and dimensions on the site in the premade items area.

I can get them there faster but it costs more.

I think RisqueBusiness's got held up in customs
cause they looked so real. LOL

Just checked out your site-all I can say is WOW!!!!

what about using rock candy and breaking it up? I don't know if you will get the shapes you are looking for but it might work. Just a thought!

I'm soooooo glad you like them.
I can't believe it took so long for them to arrive though. Let me know when you post the pictures of what you use them for!

Off to work now, I have creme caramel cake, bailey's italian buttercream filled tortes, and honey roasted coconut balls covered in milk chocolate to make.
Plus 900 gumpaste leaves for an order.
YEAH! (you know i'm going to be taking some coconut chocolates home...heheheh)
