Let's make glittering cute sweets ♪
Give your Christmas handmade sweets a jewel-like special feeling. I tried using the confectionery material "Crystal Pen" found at the 100-yen shop "Ceria".
This product is a jelly-like decoration material mainly made from sugar and gelatin. It also contains fine silver foil, so you can make glittering decorations for sweets such as cookies and cupcakes.
Pink and blue were available this time. If you lick it as it is, it tastes like starch syrup.
When using, soak in hot water of 40 to 50 degrees Celsius to soften it, and then cut the tip before use. If you want to apply it to cookies, icing it in advance will give it a beautiful color, so if you want to emphasize the appearance, you should do it.
If you icing the cookies, the color will be much better.
Another trick to make it beautiful is
to warm the pen well . The pen itself is originally soft and difficult to understand, but care must be taken as the pen may become clogged and not come out or the surface may rattle if it is not warmed enough.
If the viscosity is high, it may not work well

Transfer the contents to a heat-resistant container, boil it in hot water, and when it becomes as loose as jam, stuff it in a cornet and apply it. Because it is written ...). If it doesn't work in winter, please give it a try.
If it is loosened to some extent, the surface will become smooth and will harden when it cools.
A crystal pen that you can enjoy arranging as if you were making accessories by sprinkling Alazan or sugar before it hardens. If you are looking for a different decoration than usual, check it out ♪
