Hello, I'm new here and in UK.
We're celebrating our sapphire anniversary at Easter and I want to make a square sapphire cake - like a cut sapphire with a sparkly blue finish. I've already got the necessary decorations and ingredients.
I have two questions:
Does anyone know where I can find an easy to follow guide for cutting the angles as on a real sapphire? I know there are different cuts but can't find a picture big enough for any of them.
If anyone can suggest an alternative yet simple cake decoration I'm willing to consider it. It has to travel a long way and won't be able to be specially treated because there will be a lot of other stuff in our car.
Since there will also be children at this event (an Eostre gathering of Vikings in a dark age village) I'm trying to think of appropriate small favours for them. I'd like to make biscuits with edible blue 'glass' inserts but can't seem to find anything acceptable. If I make a hard transparent candy what could I use to colour it?
