<div><font size="5"><font size="5" face="Arial">( I am working with an 850watt microwave, be sure to adjust time/power settings as needed. For 1,100watt- use 50% power setting.)</font></font></div>

(If you are only working with one color, you can dissolve it well in the water before adding the gelatin.)</font></font></div>
<div><font size="5"><font size="5" face="Arial">3. Stir warm glycerin in well. Must be warm.</font></font></div>
<div><font size="5"><font size="5" face="Arial">4. Stir in glucose well.</font></font></div>
<div><font size="5"><font size="5" face="Arial">5. Add in coconut oil, and stir well. Microwave another 20 seconds. It is ready.</font></font></div>
<div><font size="5"><font size="5" face="Arial">6.This is when I usually pour only the amount I need into a smaller cup, add my flavoring & coloring as desired, and pour into my mold. Can be flavored without color for the diamond effect. I repeat this procedure as needed to fill all necessary molds for my project, one little cup at a time..('-')</font></font></div>
<div> </div>
<div><font size="5"><font size="5" face="Arial">Tips & hints: <br/>It starts out nice & clear. I only color, and flavor, the amount I need, in a separate bowl, for each project.

<div><font size="5"><font size="5" face="Arial">Kool-Aid is a quick, easy, cheap, & VERY effective way of getting both color, and flavor! Just remember that purple will taste like GRAPE on a cake! lol</font></font></div>
<div><font size="5"><font size="5" face="Arial">Can use a silicone, or any flexible, cup to pour mix into a less detailed mold. Do not overfill, can move mix around in the mold with a toothpick to fill smaller cavities, but this must be done quickly, or it will begin to set. If it starts to setup before you are done, reheat remaining mix as needed to complete project. I often have 2 cups, with different color & flavors, going at the same time, for a 2 toned effect in the finished product.</font></font></div>
<div><font size="5"><font size="5" face="Arial">Can refrigerate up to 20 minutes, or more, to speed up setting process. The longer it sets up, the stronger it will be. Remember, it sets fast! Totally edible too. With proper flavoring, the kids, big & little, all love it! It's melt in your mouth delicious!</font></font></div>
<div><font size="5"><font size="5" face="Arial">If you want it a little thinner, add a wee bit more water. If you need it thicker, less water, or more gelatin. I use a wooden skewer to stir my mix, it can be left in the bowl while in the microwave for less mess, just wash it off & keep it in a baggy, & it can be reused over & over.</font></font></div>
<div><font size="5"><font size="5" face="Arial">Keeps well, in or out of the fridge. Cleanup for this recipe is a breeze. Let it cool in the cup, or container, then just lift it out, all in one neat little piece! Just put it back in the container, & put on the lid, to be remelted later for reuse. Any leftover gummies themselves can also be reheated, & repoured, to make new molds at a later time. Always label your leftovers.</font></font></div>

<p>i hope this is ok to put here, been booted out of another forum for it.... i created a brand new product, and as far as i know im the only one to make it. Gummy sprinkles. they stay gummy and taste great, and if you mix them in the batter they look like funfetti but make it taste like that gummy. im starting to make my own gummies so i could make custom flavor and color combinations soon. i hope you guys like them and are willing to give them a try!…</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><font size="4">Winners to be featured in American Cake Decorating's Slice Newsletter and considered for inclusion in print magazine.</font></strong></p>
<p><font size="4">All items for decorating need to be made from an edible material other than a dummy as the base of the cake.</font></p>
<p><font size="4">Only one entry per person, and only one photograph allowed to be submitted per person.</font></p>
<p><font size="4">Your cake must have <b>a title</b>, <b>a descriptive caption</b> stating what methods were used, and what materials were used for the decorating, and the <b>tag number TOPSY14</b>.</font></p>
<p><font size="4">You may not have any previous ‘favorites’ already on the photo used for the contest.</font></p>
<p><font size="4"><u>Do NOT</u> place the tag number in the title of your cake, and <u>Do NOT</u> place the letter <u><b>F</b></u> with your tag number. This is something that the moderators do in order to ‘Feature’ your photo in the contest, and if you place this along with the tag number, it could be ‘assumed by the ‘moderators’ that your picture has already been featured and you could miss out on the contest. The letter in itself only lets the moderators know that we have done the proper steps in adding your photo, and is a clue to the other moderators that a picture has already been Featured.</font></p>
<p><font size="3">Entries must be uploaded by midnight EST on December 1st. Voting ends at 11pm EST on December 5th. The top ten cakes will be determined by the number of people selecting it as their favorite with the favorite button. Winners will be announced on December 21st.</font></p>
<p><font size="3">Read through all of the rules carefully. If any field has not met the criteria of the rules, your cake will not be entered into the contest. If you notice that your cake has not been featured within a few days after submission, go back and reread the rules again and make sure that you have followed the rules properly. Make any corrections needed at that time. If you are unsure of anything, add a comment onto this discussion and one of the moderators will see it and respond.</font></p>

<p>A bit about me...I have been decorating cakes for family and friends for years. Then an old friend of mine put me up to a cake competition and I did very well. After that, I thought I might just take cake decorating a bit more serious and maybe make a business out of it. I started making cakes for co-workers and was loving it. Then, I injured my shoulder. But now it is 5 years later, and I'm hoping to start up again. I have some shortcomings with the still cranky shoulder, but I love doing what we do, and want to share that passion with others.</p>
<p><strong>My hopes in finding some people with cake decorating/baking interests are:</strong></p>
<p>To make new friends.</p>
<p>Learn a new trick or teach one to eachother.</p>
<p>Perhaps even work together on cake jobs. (I'm great with fondant, but I can't really pipe well)</p>
<p>above all, I would just love to meet some people that love all things sugar as much as I do.</p>
