Hello everyone!
Does anyone have an opinion about what the best kind of edible rhinestones I should use for embedding in red fondant? And where to get em?
Doing this type of pattern...[postimage id="3396" thumb="900"]
Bonus: is adding black gel color to the red satin ice fondant the best way to darken the color?
Any help is appreciated :)
Your deep, darker colors take time to develop so make your colored fondant days ahead. Rather than black I think brown would work better. Why not try each in a bit of the red. Don't know how much wait time you have but hope you do have time to fuss w/this.
Adding black to red deepens it to more Ruby red. I honestly don't know how you could do edible rhinestones :-S
I've done rhinestones on a cake but they were never edible, and always on a styrofoam cake
Thanks! I do have some time, so I will try brown and black. I am going for a deeper ruby color. Thanks for the advice.
I found some isomalt rhinestones at fancyflours.com and ordered them, so fingers crossed I can get the look I want! I would have made my own but I couldn't find the exact mold I was looking for.
Thanks again guys!
