How Do I Make An Edible Coral/reef?

I saw something on tv tonight. A cake decorator made an edible coral reef for an ocean themed cake out of confections sugar and egg whites and put it on the microwave. I was wondering if anyone knows what the ratio of confections sugar is to the egg whites?? And how long to you microwave it for?
I cant answer your question directly, but I know you can use isomalt to do the same thing
is there a video or blog tutorial for making pastillage?
Here's a thread with brief instructions for microwaved royal icing coral:

I've done it and it works great.
I saw a tutorial where someone used dried out grape stems. They just colored buttercream icing and went over it several times, until the stem was not showing anymore and it was the desired thickness. It looked really easy!
in Kerry Vincents bok she has a procedure for doing it. It was ri that you pour sugar syrup on. Let cool and break. I did it before and it worked great. I took skewers and dipped in gel color and poked the ri in several places. I did so with multiple colors. Pink, purple, periwinkle orange, flesh, peach Just to varigate the ri. I then used dusted to further add color. HTH
