  2. Pretty cool. Looks like metal. I'm going to have to try this. I remember years ago I did this and used food coloring in the dough. Made several flowers and decorated a cake.
    Just make sure everyone knows not to eat them or they'll chip a tooth :-)

  4. I LOVE THIS,
    Although I have a few questions.
    1. What material/method did you use to get the look of both the hart and thumb print pendants.
    2. did you do this before baking or after???

  5. Miche' They do need to have the shape before baking. Hope that helps.
