Hi! Your recipe calls for adding cream of tarter, but doesn’t list the amount. How much do needs to be included?
Kelly says
Whoops! So sorry, just updated it. 1/4 teaspoon!

I attempted these and they never hardened. I don’t know what I did wrong. 🙁
Cher says
Would love to try these for Easter. Did you use food color to get all the different colors?
Carmella says
These shot glasses are too cute. I love anything sparkly. I was wondering what glitter u used? I know Wilton has edible glitter. I didn’t know if that was the right stuff?
Pris says
Is “Consumable” Glitter the same? It’s sold at my nearest Cake supply store, and is edible to glitter up cakes and such.
Anila says
This is such a cool idea! How did you get the different colors? Was that just from the sparkle or food coloring as well?
Did you try this method by putting the molds in the oven instead of heating the mixture over a saucepan to a certain degree?
Darlene says
quick question, How long do these shot glasses last? Can you wash them or are they just a one time use thing?
