Hi there,

I am completely new to resin-casting. I would like to preserve coloured meringues and iced biscuits used as wedding favours and use them as christmas ornaments. I figured that dipping them in resin might be the way to go. My concerns are:
– that colour will bleed from the meringues and icing into the resin
– that the meringue will dissolve (perhaps only if the resin is water-based?)
– that the resin will not adhere to the food items.

Could you recommend any strategies for pre-treating the meringues and biscuits that might help (some sort of lacquer or similar?) and/or suggest a resin that would be most likely to work? I have two or three spare of the meringue and biscuits each to do any test runs if needed. Any advice or ideas would be much appreciated.

Thank you so much!
