Gems, Gems and more Gems

I love learning new things in life. In the cake world, there are so so many techniques to try. For me, the question is where to start! I finally decided a technique - learning how to make those edible sugar gems. They are one of the hot wedding trends...bling, bling and more bling. Instead of having to buy them, I thought I would learn to make them. After doing my research on product used to produce them and molds to create these cute gems, I decided it was time to give it a try!

I had to use a product called isomalt and you have to super careful when using it. It can cause a very serious burn if it touches your skin. While "playing" I decided to create some colored ones as well.

Here are some photos of my gems. I look forward to incorporating them with my cakes!
