What better dessert to serve at a girly Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend Bridal Showerthan fluffy pink cupcakes encrusted with chocolate gemstones.

I'm not one for cooking so the beauty of this food craft is you simply dress up store-bought cupcakes. These pink & gold encrusted gemstones are super simple to make. Top them with a few extra glam diamond accessories, and they will make you look like a professional baker in front of your guests!

Place a bag of melting candy into a bowl. Follow the heating instructions provided until the chocolate is liquid.

Once melted, pour the chocolate into the gemstone molds. Using the spatula smooth out the top.

Let set. This doesn't take very long!

When the chocolates are set, push them out of the mold from the underside.

Next, it's time to decorate the chocolates. Taking tweezers, place pieces of edible gold leaf gilding foil delicately onto the chocolate. These will naturally flatten on the chocolate, use the tweezers if this doesn't occur on its own.

Now that the chocolates have been gilded with gold they can be placed on top of your cupcakes. Add a diamond food pick and a piece of Gold Diamond Confetti to complete the cupcake topper. You can also place your cupcake into a gold laser cut wrapper for extra glam! 

For a unique look, put the chocolate on ice! Present your chocolates in a diamond pedestal dish on top of Pink Acrylic Ice.

They look truly decadent either way!
