I have been wanting to try this since I first saw this tutorial and finally have a chance. I’m planning on making these beer gummy glasses for my friends party. I had 8cup measuring cup if so can I make make the whole batch together instead of splitting it in 2 measuring cups

Does the gummy come out of the cup or is it meant to be eaten while still inside the cup?

  It comes out of the cup, you just peel the cup away

This is wonderful! Do you think this would work if I put a collar on a beer mug cake and just poured the foam on the fondant top? How would it taste on chocolate mud cake? Does it slice? So many questions I really think I must experiment lol!

  Gummies will make fondant weep and get wet looking. Slices just fine. Have fun!
