Hard Candy Jewels Part 2

I mentioned in a previous post that I had trouble making hard candy jewels. After giving myself a few days reprieve from the endless attempts, my perseverance led to round five! I was hoping to make pink gems, but I got a little heavy handed with the food coloring and ended up with rubies. Although the red rubies did not match the rest of the decor (pink, teal and purple), they were yummy and adorable.



 I used the extra hard candy syrup and made some decorative pieces to add to the side of the cookie dish. 

I also made a heart for the cake. I think I will endlessly use hard candy to decorate!
