Hints & Tips

• Edible diamonds can be placed in fridge overnight to ensure that they are thoroughly chilled to help remove them from the packaging.
• Do not use Standard Edible Glue (any water based glue or watered down icing) to fix the diamonds to icing.
• To use on sugar paste, make sure the icing has fully dried out. Once the icing is dry we recommend only using confectioners glaze to glue the items to the cake.
• Once a hole has been made in the surface of the icing and it has been left to dry again, the hole should be lightly coated with confectioners glaze – not filled - and the diamond then placed in position. If there is any water left in the icing, water could form a puddle around the diamond.
• In order to fully appreciate the facets in the diamond, mix the confectioners glaze with silver or gold edible glitter/powder, (not Non-Toxic Glitter) put this into the hole first and then the diamond.
• If you do not use edible glitter/powder, especially on white or ivory icing then the diamond may disappear into the icing.
• If the diamond appears to mist over – which only happens with excess handling, or gets covered in icing sugar then brush the surface with a damp brush until it shines again.
• There are no special requirements for buttercream.
• Use confectioners glaze sparingly. It is highly flammable.
