To all those CC's who have made tiaras for the top of your cake. I need yo make my first tiara for a topper to a cake. Should I make it out of chocolate or royal icing? I am using a template for the tiara that I found here on CC. Any tips, suggestions, anything would be most helpful to me. What tip do you recommend using to make it. I was thinking about a tip #3 or #4? Thoughts??? Thank you.

Hi Sherri,

You can make it from either royal icing or candy melts.I like the crisp look of royal but unless you get the exact consistency it won't harden..That has happened to me a few times now and is very frustrating...so I used candy melts and it was fast and easy although not as crisp.Once you dust it up a bit with super pearl lustre dust,they all look good!!

I made mine out of gumpaste and my sugarcraft gun and really like the clean look of that. Just another option...
