Ok...since I have not found any edible diamondesque cake decorations, I am coming to my cake family for help.
My best friends birthday is in a couple months, and I have been asked to make his birthday cake. I am going to make a regular sheet cake for the masses, that is already settled. But I want to make him his own personal cake, and put the emblem of his favorite fashion designer on it. I've decided, I'm going to make the logo out of chocolate, but I'd like for it to be studded with "diamonds"...Since I can't find edible ones, can I use rhinestones, or can someone suggest something to get the "Bling Bling effect?" Thanks a whole lot everyone!
I don't think you should add rhinestones...they're small and someone may end up eating one. You can buy candy diamonds or you can make them...

4th row, 6th one Maybe brush these with piping gel to make them shine.

You might also try using rock candy that comes on a stick. You can probably find some at a candy shop or party store. Just break it off the stick in small pieces. You can also buy rock candy crystals.
Sugarcraft also has chocolate molds in the shapes of gems and diamonds.
