Things You'll Need
Pink or white fondant
Wax paper
Pearl luster dust
Lemon juice
Thin-gauge wire
Make an elegant and edible fondant pearl necklace and a pair of earrings from your choice of colored fondant for some coordinating edible jewelry. Give the necklace a pearl-like shine with some edible luster dust and adorn a cake with the jewelry for a fashion-themed birthday celebration or other special event. The edible accessories are easy to make and do not require any previous cake decorating experience. You can make the necklace and earrings up to a week in advance of the special day to make sure you have plenty of time to make the perfect edible jewelry set.
Fondant Pearl Necklace

Cut a 16-inch-long piece of thin-gauge wire.

Step 4
Shape one end of each wire into a hook-style earring.
