OK...I am about to order some Luster Dust (Gold) from Sugarcraft, but I don't know which one to get. I see Aztec Gold, Golden Bronze, Gold/Green, and Old Gold. I'm guessing I should go with Old Gold. I need it for a Navy Anchor. I have no idea which one to get. What is the one you all use? Thanks - Kenya

I would like to know too. I picked up a couple at a local supply store (limited color selection) just to play but would like to know what the most used colors are.

BUMP! This is something I would really like to know also, so Hopefully there is an addict out there somewhere who can help????

Kenya, I have ordered Holly green, shrimp, pearl, silver and just gold. I thought the gold was shinny. I am not sure if you want shinny gold or not. I think it depends if you want a matt finish gold or a shinny one.

I've used Old Gold and it's a muted gold but still shiny. It would depend on how rustic you wanted the anchor to look. If you can imagine a brass candlestick that's aged just a little bit, that's what old gold looks like to me.

HI, I used Aztec gold on the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor on one of my cakes. It's in my pics so you can take a look if you want.

cakelady7...I love the look of the aztec gold. Much better than the old gold for an anchor .

I got a question, too! The "Old Gold" looks more like a pearl color as far as I can tell (we have a local place that carries some of this), so is that the closest I am going to get to a silver color? Or is there a silver color? The store near me is limited in what they keep in stock as far as the luster dusts are concerned.

Do you "paint" that on royal icing after it hardens? I'm doing a maintenance badge for a group at the airbase next week and I kinda wanted that metallic look to it. Any suggestions?

Thanks Lisa! I was lucky. I am just starting out, and a lot of things like luster dust are new to me. The place I bought the dust at only had aztec gold, so I really didn't have a choice. It worked out, so I'm not complaining.

fytar: For ths "silver" look on my Eagle Globe and Anchor I used super pearl Pearl Dust.

I want the anchor to be as gold as possible. Not old looking. I think I saw a Super Gold too after I wrote the forum. I'm still a little stuck on what to get. My husband says I need something like a yellow gold or something.

Oh I also used nu silver on the chocolate wrench for the mechanic in my photos.

Thanks, Lisa, I guess I got confused on which color I saw...they definately didn't have the Nu Silver color. I think I'm gonna call and see if they can order some with their next shipment. Thanks so much.
