There are quite a few tutorials to pick through
As far as gems, you can make them out of isomalt, or you can paint small fondant or gumpaste pieces with metallic luster dusts.
AGelatin??? Hmm interesting. Thanks for that tip. I kinda want to do the isomalt but a question for anyone who has used isomalt before.... it is not cost effective for me to buy the different colored packs of the CakePlay Isomalt Sticks to get a varity of colors so, can you color the hardened isomalt "gem" . I read to use silver luster dust to get a shiny effect but can you use anything else to give them color?
seriously???? yay!!! i didn't think you could. I haven't worked with isomalt before I thought that would ruin the melted isomalt and cause it not to harden or something horrible like that. also was worried i would have to purchase 7 different luster dust colors to get a variety or colors. Thanks
