At last I have come up with a solution for my brides who want diamantes on their wedding cakes. I have had so many enquiries for diamante wedding cakes. Yes, you can get edible diamantes. Unfortunately they are not very successful, as they tend to lose their sparkle very quickly depending on the weather and then tend to look like lumps of sugar. It has been known for people to put diamante pins into cakes, a rather dangerous solution, as the diamantes can fall off the pins. I have talked to caterers who have been very unhappy about picking diamante pins out of cakes, as the responsibility falls on them. Up until now I have only put diamantes into dummy cake. This weekend, Fiona the bride came up with the idea of putting diamante brooches onto what was my Nicolette cake and replaced the calla lilies with orchids. I was very happy with my diamante wedding cake -what do you think?

I like this solution, the sugar diamonds don't reflect as much as I'd like them to, either. This would be pretty on a snowflake cake, as well.
