We are always looking for new and exciting ways to dress up our cakes. What could be more amazing than adding a little bling?

Rhinestone Mesh was used in the cake below but, really, any sparkly trim you can find at the local craft/sewing store would work I'm sure.

Geraldine used royal icing to attach the bling to the gum paste/fondant. If you are worried about having a non food grade item on your cake or want to give your cake a little bit more stability, you can cut lengths of acetate to the length and width you need. Again, royal icing will hold this to your trim. Or, if you want, a hot glue gun can be used - just don't add to anything that is going to be eaten.

Rhinestone Mesh is also quite handy if you are wanting to make letters.

First bend floral wire into the shape you want leaving a length sticking out the bottom to act as the spike for sticking into your cake or cupcake. Cut a single strand length of the Rhinestone Mesh and, using a hot glue gun, attach it to the wire shape you created. Once dry, it is ready to add to your cake/cupcake.
