Hi, I am wanting to make a pool cake in a fwe weeks and I wanted to try the technique where you melt sugar and color it then pour it to make it look like water. I know I have seen Duff do it, but as I am not sure what the technique is called I can't find any directions on how to do it. If anyone knows a link or can give me directions I would really really love it!

Thanks!

Hi brea,

I did a ccc pool in my photos and I used piping gel. It turned out really well. Just tint the piping gel the color you want and pour it over. Very simple.

Same here. Used piping gel. You can vary the shades of blue to give depth.

You can also melt blue jolly ranchers. Also when I was watching one of the castle challenges, one of the contestants used foil under her piping gel to give it depth when she was making water in her moat.

You can also use jello:

. Prepare gelatin as directed on box for speed-set. When ice cubes are removed, use a 1/4-cup measure or small ladle and slowly fill the pool up to about 1/4 in. from the top. Refrigerate 2 hours or until gelatin is very firm

Thanks everyone for the great help! I think I will go with the piping gel for this one!
