Pearl and Bubble Cake Toppers!

 Pearl and Bubble Cake Toppers! Safe for food and fun to make! It's jewelry for your cake!  Perfect accent for a pearly wedding cake, birthday cake or party cupcakes! If you leave off the luster dust, they'll be nearly clear!  Here's how to make them. You will need: Water Balloons Knox Original Unflavored Gelatine Duck Tape Silver Luster Dust (you can use any color--find at craft stores) Drying rack  Blow a little air into a water balloon. Tie it off. Twist and wrap up the nipple of the balloon with the knot and secure with duct tape. This will also aid in the drying process.  Now, mix 1/2 cup of water with 1/4 cup of gelatine. Stir gently.  Add 1/8 to 1/4 tsp of luster dust and stir in. Heat up in the microwave for about 30 seconds and stir again. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes so most of the bubbles pop. Then dip your balloons in the liquid gel and let them dry. Give them a second coat and then let them dry overnight...
