I have a mold for isomalt decorations - they look like elongated gems. Probably not more than 1/2" in length.
I'm wondering if isomalt decor is harder to anchor to a cake due to weight. How would you affix it? Especially if I'm working with lightweight dummy cakes.
Thanks!
depends on what kind of icing and do you mean on the sides of the cake?
the other issue is that once the gem is applied to icing it drabs out because the light is no longer passing through it — plus they can show fingerprints and can lose the glossiness/the prettiness just from the atmosphere —
back in the day decorators would use real rhinestones attached to royal icing lace pieces —
what works better is decogel you can get from icing images — but there are recipes to make it yourself — but they still need some silver backing probably to add some interest — because you’re putting a small see through item on a solid background reducing the see throughness— and it’s not as appealing as you want for the work involved and for the hazards of the hot stuff —
hopefully someone will have a better experience than me with this stuff — but backing the pieces with silver would help —
