I am a hobby baker and I have an idea for a cake which has an hourglass as the centerpiece. I would really like to make the glass portion out of isomalt but am having difficulty seeing how I can do that. I've looked for tutorials or written instructions that are similar. I thought maybe blowing an oblong bowl then cutting off the end of the bowls with a heated knife. I've never blown isomalt before so I would likely have to try several times to get the right shape and cutting it w/out shattering it. I can live with it not being a working hourglass but just cant picture it as fondant or even maybe wafer paper. Any suggestions would be welcome!
I am only a hobby baker but found a cute looking cookie that looks like an hourglass. See below.
