Learn how to make a sugar necklace displayed on a necklace display stand.

In the cake decorating world, anything and everything has been requested to be made as a cake. We can make a house, a piano or a car…no problem. These are things we simply scale down. If we have to make something like a pen for a writer or a golf ball, we need to scale these items up to achieve enough volume as a cake to be served at an event. Then we have certain objects that are best to keep to the actual real life size in order to make it look more realistic. In these cases, we have to make the item our of sugar or chocolate, and accompany the item with a cake of some kind. This could be a simple cake coated with fondant or it could be a 3D cake of an object related to the item in question. Problem solved! Jewellery objects are a perfect example of what I am talking about. Today’s tutorial is of a sugar necklace presented on a 3D necklace display stand.

White Chocolate (Compound) Wikipedia

300g for scraping or brushing crust coat

Compound chocolate is a product made from a combination of cocoa, vegetable fat, and sweeteners. It is used as a lower-cost alternative to true chocolate, as it uses less-expensive hard vegetable fats such as coconut oil or palm kernel oil in place of the more expensive cocoa butter. It may also be known as 'compound coating' or 'chocolatey coating' when used as a coating for candy.

1/3 cup

Isomalt is a sugar substitute, a type of sugar alcohol, used primarily for its sugar-like physical properties. It has only a small impact on blood sugar levels and does not promote tooth decay, i.e. is tooth-friendly. Isomalt is widely used for the production of sugar-free candy, especially hard-boiled candy, because it resists crystallisation much better than the standard combinations of sucrose and corn syrup. It is used in sugar sculpture for the same reason. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isomalt

    The one thing I love the most about Yener and his channel is he leaves in the issues or errors. Most channels you see these days only show the perfection and don’t show the issues that could happen. I love how Yener shows the problems and then shows the solutions on how to correct them. This is one of the many reasons I love his channel and have learned so much from him and his videos. Thank you Yener and keep up the amazing work!!!!!
