COINS

Let's start with something easy to get some energies! We will need gold coins and for that i used cocoa butter drops (you can use also fondant small circles, circled confetti...). Put it inside a ZIPLOCK bag with some Magic Colours' Royal Gold Luster Dust, shake it well and TA-DA! You have your golden coins!
