    I wanted to create ice shards during the summer once, and through trial and error, and tons of frustration, I found a solution.

    Gelatin. Mix up a batch of it, unflavored, with a drop of blue food coloring and cool it in thin layers on a baking sheet. Tear it into pieces and it looks almost like broken glass, or sheets of ice. If you lay pieces over aluminum foil or other metal surfaces, the effects get really cool, with bubbles n' shit.

    Ok, another one of my secrets has been shared. If you use or attempt this technique, I'd be curious to see the results. Enjoy.
