Heaven Lee Cakes

I am so excited to share this new technique!  Easy gems in the microwave?  No way!  YES WAY!!!  On my weekend away I took this class with Kathy Scott and even though I was not able to buy the molds I was ( after many burns!!! OUCHIE!!!)  able to make my gems and learn this technique that takes the cakes to another level.

Unfortunately, the weather in Miami doesn't cooperate as it's so hot and humid in the MIA...( insert sobs here.)  I love the way the look as I am a "BLINGER" from waaaaaaaaaay back. lol

I can't wait to make a display cake for the ICES day of Sharing in PLANTATION taking place in March!

This was made using a 2 pc mold and adding the rainbow glitter to the purple gem.

And these are just the clear gems using the mold that was included in the starter mold box.

So, I finally decide to take the proverbial "BULL" by the horns and grab my bag of ISOMALT that's been gathering dust in one of my storage drawers since I got back from OCALA in October ( some time thereabouts)  and decided that I am a big girl and need to stop getting intimidated by the process.  I took 2 cups of the ISOMALT and 8 TABLESPOONS of hot water ( I heated the water in the microwave, and it saved me some clean up time at the end. I put the sugar encrusted PASTRY BRUSH and CANDY THERMOMETER into the warm/hot water and clean up was a breeze!)

I poured the clearn ISOMALT into the silicone cupcake shape I had gotten from WILTON and so hate them.  (They don't make any papers to fit them...)

I have been using them to play with my hot sugar.  I had left over from the Kathy Scott Kit in the blue and purple so I added more hot sugar and in about 30 minutes they set wonderfully.  Enough that I can pop them out of the silicone molds and cool further.

I put a drop of orange color in the diamond shaped one, before it got to cool to stirl.  My little silicone spoon was still coated with green sugar so I didn't want to mix the colors.  When I get to use the Orange I will melt it and mix it better.   So off to wrap my little beauties and let you guys guess what I"m going to be making with my sugar.

If you "PEEK" into the green plastic storage container you can get a  hint...lol
