I just take an Orange Dreamsicle and then stick shrimp onto it with frosting from a tube. Sprinkle with seasoned salt and your family will love the presentation and the taste!”Watch Sky Full of Bacon, the Chicago food HD podcast!

I doubt you will find isomalt in chicago. You may want to call the local pastry shops or restaurant to ask about availability.
Isomalt is not really a substitute for sugar, it's not very sweet. It is wonderful for making clear windows for gingerbread houses. For this application it has a shelf life; After a year of careful storage, it begins to color a low temperatures.
Sweet Celebrations is now out of business. We now order from L'Epicerie, http://www.lepicerie.com/catalog/catego ... age_1.html
