Here is a link on making edible diamonds. You can use the same instructions, putting it in the small brownie squares....perfect for icecubes!

If you check the cake boss(on TLC) he did an episode where he made ice, with isomalt I believe. Its the lobster pot episode.
I have made sugar ice cubes using sugar and corn syrup for my beer bucket cake. They looked so awesome. Basically, you mix 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/2 of corn syrup and and melt it in the microwave. Melt it in 45 second or so intervals and stirring in between. THe more you melt it the color will turn a slight yellow. So, what I did was to make sure it didn't get to that dark. But you do have to cook it in the microwave for a while about about 4-5 minutes depending on how powerful your microwave is. Once out of the microwave I let it sit for a few seconds before pouring it into the ice cube trays. If you want crystal clear ice cubes you have to buy isomalt for that.
Be sure to place a piece of foil under the tray just it case it melts the plastic a bit....happened to me on my second attempt. And I also spray the ice cubes lightly with oil. Takes about 30 minutes or so to set and simply pop them out!! Hope this is not too confusing.

I want to try this. I don't have a project for it yet, but I'd love to just know I could do it.
I made ice cubes with the gelatin... looked great - for the first hour. THEN - the lack of refrigeration got to it... they got really soft and liquidy. Of course, that made the fondant around the bucket get all gooey and sticky and start to sag. Good thing this was a cake for a friend and I was there to see it. I immediately started singing happy birthday and grabbed a knife to hide the fact that the bucket was melting!
Hi Mahlman I live in Ireland and over here we have a sweet called foxes glacier mints. They are perfect for ice cubes,though not sure if they are available were you live. I tried the gelatin but it tasted horrible and started to melt into cake which wasn't pretty.HTH
