Dew drops

In a tutorial I watched last week, Paul or a guest used Dew drops to give a final diamond finish. It was listed in the tool required as ‘dew drops’. I have searched the internet to no avail. Please help me find where I can get these edible droplets.

Hi Shaar

Can you remember which tutorial it was that you were watching? If you can, it will narrow down the search for this dewdrop. If you want to make dew drops, you can use piping gel in small amounts. However, it doesn’t dry completely and will remain sticky if touched. Eventually it will become the consistency of a fruit gum.

Thank you for replying, the tutorial that mentioned ‘Morning dew drops (vanilla)’ was in the Asian Lace tutorial.

Hi Shaar

Apologies for this late reply. I think Danielle found those in Paul’s storage cupboard, they look very much like edible diamantes. Paul used to use them a lot. These look like they’ve been put into a jar taken off from the original packacking. Take a peek here:

You can buy them online from lots of suppliers, to see others just google ‘edible diamond or diamantes’.
They do lose their shine quite quickly if over handled but if you have some PME clear glaze, a quick spray of it will protect them. You could also very gently rub them with the tinest amount of oil using a fine paint brush if you don’t have the glaze.
