To make the pearls

Directions:

To make the pearls:

There are many sources for pearlized gumballs, but if you are unable to find them pre-made, it’s easy to make your own. Using some pearl dust from the cake decorating section of the craft store, you can convert plain white gumballs into shimmering pearls. With a dab of water or vodka (the alcohol evaporates more quickly than water) on your paintbrush, dip the brush into the pearlizing powder and paint your white gumballs. Let them dry—and they’re ready to use in your oysters.
