re: How to do some of these...embellishments?

The actual crown may have been cut out of gumpaste or pastilage using a paper template. The gems, I’m not entirely sure. Could be isomalt, or just melted clear candies poured into a bead mold. I have a store here that sells small round candies, clear and coloured. The gold gems I believe are the clear gems that have just been painted gold. Yes, I think the beads on the crown are made using a mold. I have a bead mold from Wilton. I’ve never used Wilton’s gold mist as I can’t purchase it here in Canada. But I have used other colours of Wilton spray mist which have worked very well, black and pink. I’d practice the spraying on a piece of fondant to see how the gold looks. A tip. If you colour your fondant yellow first, you won’t need to use as much gold spray to make the fondant gold. Hope this helps.
