Belle de Sucre, Paris<\/a> takes sugar to a whole other level. How beautiful these bon bons would look presented on a pretty Victorian plate at high tea or in a handmade and lusciously decorated gift box to someone special! Too bad that these lovelies are not offered in the US yet :(. I did find online, a recipe by “Trish” if you are interested in customizing your own and up to the sweet tooth challenge…

\nTrish’s “Renaissance Sweets” Recipe<\/strong>
\n
\nExpertise Level:<\/strong> So easy to make yourself!<\/p>\n

Add 2 teaspoons of water to 1 cup of sugar
\nMix until the consistency of wet sand
\nWhile moistened, pack sugar into plastic mold trays
\nEven off the sugar with a spatula
\nTake the sugar beauties out of the molds and lay onto parchment paper right away
\nLet harden overnight<\/p>\n

Molds can be found at craft stores and kitchen supply stores.
\nSmaller molds are recommended for this project.<\/p>\n

Suggestion: Flower molded sugars make great cupcake toppers.
\nYou may brush sugars with culinary glitter dust or lightly brush them with touches of food coloring.<\/p>\n

For supplies, I personally recommend e.g. kitchenkrafts.com<\/a> only because I’ve bought from them and was pleased with their products. There are also so many others, so have fun searching :)<\/p>\n
