Ingredients
1 bag of flavorless jell-o
4 tbsps water
1 recipe of royal glaze
The needed amount of powdered sugar

Sugar Paste
The sugar paste is of a hard consistency, obtained form the royal glaze with the syrup, which is fractioned into small portions used to imitate rocks.

Ingredients
1 kg sugar
½ recipe of fresh, consistent glaze

Preparation

1. Prepare the syrup by placing the sugar in a metal container with water enough to cover the sugar. Stir it until it mixes well before placing it on the fire.
2. Place the container at a low flame until you get syrup to the point of being a hard ball.
3. Have the consistent glaze with the color wished for prepared (the color should be brought up two tones more than the color that you really need).
4. Mix the glaze with the syrup quickly; giving two or three turns with a wooden spoon in involving movements.
5. Turn it immediately onto a cardboard box with buttered paper, you will see how the preparation rises in a spongy form and goes back down slightly.
6. Let it cool off until it crystallizes completely (1 ½ hours approximately) and cut the block obtained in chunks.
7. Store in closed boxes and use.

Note

1. The sugar that should be used must be white and of good quality, or it won’t allow the preparation to rise.
2. The syrup must never be mixed while in the fire or it will crystallize.
3. The box must be wrapped previously since the preparation must be poured in immediately.
