Someone wants me to make their cake "sparkly" and "glittery".

What is the difference between shimmer dust, pearl dust and a ll the other edible dusts out there and how do you apply them to fondant??

Please help!

I use ultra white sparkle dust frequently and just dry brush it onto fresh fondant.

You could also use the dusts to "paint" your cake. Mix the dust with either a clear extract or vodka.

To make your cake "glittery" you could use edible glitter.

you can airbrush with the americolor shimmering pearl...the lucks shimmering pearl.... or the can of pme shimmering pearl

If you want real BLINGE, I use disco dust. Luv the way it looks. Easy blown on with bulb syringe or sprinkled. I also like lustre dust if just a shimmer is needed. Peggy Porchen uses a lot of disco dust or she calls it edible glitter to her work. http://www.peggyporschen.com See if this is what you are looking for.

Disco dust is now considered a no no. It is classed as non toxic, but not edible and should be removed from the cake prior to eating it
