Bloom the gelatin

• Sprinkle the gelatin powder over the cold water in a bowl.
• Let it sit until fully absorbed and spongy.

Make the gummy mixture

• Warm the sugar and glucose syrup in a saucepan until dissolved.
• Add the bloomed gelatin and whisk until completely smooth.
• Stir in the flavouring extract.

Colour the mixture

• Divide the mixture into small bowls.
• Add a different food colouring to each bowl and stir to get the pretty colours.

Pour into the moulds

• Pour each coloured mixture into the gem moulds, filling them to the top.

Let the gems set

• Leave the moulds to set at room temperature.
• To speed things up, place them in the fridge.

Finish the gems

• Pop the set gummy gems out of the moulds.
• Optionally brush a little edible shimmer dust over some of the gems for a sparkly finish.
