In community album: Pulled Sugar / Blown Sugar
This is a pulled, molded snowflake sugar topper I made for a wedding.  actually this is the back up topper as the first topper on the wedding cake had no close up shots taken.  Bummer...  I molded the hole in the center to snake a set of led lights up(went through cake stand and cake up into topper).  really cool and worked the first time.  I made extra snowflakes and busted them up to make the border(like ice shards) around a round poured sugar base.  all sugar is isomalt.  I poured small dark blue sugar gems for the centers.  This is my first time with sugar and I am totally addicted.  I am making a roller skate cake for my daughter next month with sugar wheels that (spin and light up- i hope).  I found small battery powered led lights after I figured out a way to snake lights through cake.  Live and learn.  Thanks for looking.
Thanks to K8memphis for her help when I posted a question about this.  I went and looked for those lights and found them after I had made the topper.  Good to know though- included a pic of side to show what they look like.

Sugar is therapeutic, smashing it was a great stress reliever. you should give it a try

This is soooo beautiful. I really want to try my hand working with sugar. Any advice on where to start?
Reimagining_Confections 1/20/11 at 3:12pm
Just jump in, try molding sugar first(lots of great molds out there, then try attaching( i used a kitchen torch) the molded items together. Lastly the hand molding(pulling). The sugar needs to be hot to stay pliable, but there is a point you can touch it(where it starts to move on a silicon mat) and a point where you learn melted sugar really hurts when it gets on you. Lots of info on the web on sugar, spend a little time reading and re-reading. Then jump on in...I am enjoying the process
