Im planning on making a cake for the week after the holidays (next week) and I wondered if I could just do it the easy way and pop some hardcandy into the oven for a couple of minutes and work from that? 
Perhaps I could make some kind of frame using firm vanilla cookie dough if I want it to have a more specific shape? 
Planning to make a sugar structure to be on the top of the cake and perhaps try my luck on some flowers LOL 
Thanks in advance! 
if you crush jolly ranchers or lifesavers and put them in the oven and let them melt when it starts to cool but is still pliable you can cut it with a metal cookie cutter into a specific shape and let it set up fully and it will get hard again.
that's what I did for the star on the top of this cupcake tower (I used blue jolly ranchers)
