I've seen some pics that have "rocks" in the scene. Some people have indicated that they are candy rocks-where do you get these?

Then some indicate they made them....How? I'd like to use them in a cake for this weekend, but not sure how to make them......TIA!!

I bought some candy rocks at a local farmer's market store. They actually had a pretty large selection of bulk candies, including several different kinds of gummy candies, ranging in the likes of coke bottles, octopuses, snakes, and even fried eggs!

I just make my own rocks with fondant leftovers. Mix colors together and see what you get, and add more color if needed. Even if it starts to get a little hard and won't smoothly mix in, I incorporate it in and it just looks like the uneven surface of a rock. You can marblize a couple colors together, or use solid colors. Easy, and a way to use up those little bits of colored leftover fondant.
