Like sugar plums, of course.  Very tiny sugar plums.  Each corn kernel is 
cut in half to remove the pit.  Then it's a layer of sugar, a layer of corn,

a layer of sugar, etc.  Until the pan is full.  Takes about 9 days (I'm 
using the Sugar Plum recipe from your Florithingy.), at which point, the 
corn kernels are transformed in shape, color and size.  Don't ask me how, 
but somewhere along the way, they grow in size, and acquire other 
colors--most often, a striped pattern of yellow, orange, and white, although

I've also seen some with brown.
