I am making a gravity defying cake where I am having gatorade pouring out of bottle onto top cake tier using isomalt.

Please anyone ideas on how to form the sugar to make it look like pouring liquid???  I have tried it by sight and it just isnt looking very realistic.

trying to think of something I could use to pour the sugar over to form it????

thank you!!!

Are your pouring the sugar over a cake dowel?

Yes, I originally formed it around a dowel but don't like the results. It's not looking 'realistic' enough....just looks like a long clump of hard sugarconfused

I'm trying to think of some way to actually 'pour' it over a mold of some sort, but I'm stumpedno_mouth

That's what I used,a cake dowel. After pouring on the dowel to look like a stream,then I poured small amount coming off the sides of the stream to look like small drops or small streams coming off the main stream.

1.  What size dowel did you use?  I've colored the isomalt purple so you can still see the white dowel underneath.....

2.  How did you exactly "pour" the liquid over the dowel?  Maybe that's where I'm going wrong?  I just 'formed' it around the dowel....

3. Did you have to pour several times to get the thickness?

I just poured from the pan on to the dowel and just twisted and turned my dowel so the sugar looked like it was going to drip off and just let it cool for a minute so it would get hard in that position. I had some foil underneath it just in case some did drip off,it wouldn't land on my counter. Your only putting sugar on half the dowel,so its easy to hold and maneuver it. Yes, I poured several times to get the thickness  i wanted.

I will definitely try this technique.  I cannot thank you enough.  Been racking my brain trying to figure out another way to do this!


wish me luck and thank you again

I made one with 'coffee' for my grandma and I wrapped foil around a stainless steel rod and poured/moulded 'microwaveable rock candy' over it, the foil gives it texture and shine.

Bubs, that is darling!  Another good idea!  I have to make the sugar this weekend bc I ran out of isomalt so I will try both techniques and see which ones works best...


Thank you both so much!relaxed
