gumpaste tiaras

I made several tiaras for the Fancy Nancy cake to give the birthday girl a choice. I used my extruder for the gumpaste and piping gel to secure the isomalt gems. I need to practice making isomalt gems and I wasn't too pleased with the results. I had difficulty following a template, so just free formed them over a can for the shape. All in all, she was delighted. I was surprised at how durable they actually were.
