Have you ever heard of edible cake jewels? It sounds a little weird (and prissy!), but they exist and are available in multiple colors to look like various gemstones. They make regular sprinkles or colored sugar look very "blah".
These would be perfect for Lil Jon's blinged out birthday cake! Lil Jon would be walking around with his diamond-covered chalice (oh, I'm sorry, I meant Pimp Cup) of CRUNK energy drink in one hand and a plate of jeweled birthday cake in the other. What a beautiful mental picture.
Princess wannabes around the world probably rejoiced when these were invented. And their moms were bummed because these cost more than sprinkles and will have to be placed on the cake one by one! You don't just dump cake jewels on a cake!
A package of about 84 assorted cake jewels costs $13.00. But for some parents, that's a small price to pay if it will satisfy a whining kid with the most perfectest birthday cake ever. Plus, if you put more than 84 of these on a cake, you have probably flown right past "nicely decorated" to "utterly tacky".
All kidding aside, I do think these have potential to look pretty neat on a cake. If you were really talented you could use these to make a stained glass image on a sheet cake.
We found some available at Fancy Flours.
These are great! Where can I get them ?

Where do I find these for that price?????/
I knew nothing of these "little gems" myself until I had a customer asking for a cake for a party she was hosting that had a moroccan theme. We wanted it to have jewels, and I was going try to make my own. After searching online almost giving up, I stumbled across them almost by accident! I was worried, though, because the cake was to be covered in ganache. The jewels are really better seen on light colored backgrounds, but I was able to make it work. Take a look on my website under celebration cakes, then Bejeweled Cake.
where do I buy the bling bling diamonds?
You can get them at www.fancyflours.com
Where do you purchase these? I have tried to find them online and can't seem to.
Where can I purchase these for $18.00. I have found them online for much more. Thanks,
But cake jewels are anathema to the Chocolate Cake Church! Surely one cannot countenance such things as more than fripperies and fancies.
