I want to do a cake with little white royal icing dots that look like pearls on white fondant. How can I make just the dot part sparkly or pearl-like?
Handpainting each afterward with lustre dust mixed with vodka sounds really time consuming, and very diddly, but could be done.
What would happen if I added pearl dust or lustre dust to the RI before piping? Would that work?

Handpainting is about the only way. Unless......you make fondant pearl balls and shake them in a bottle of sparkle dust then hand place each pearl.

That's what I was afraid of! 
I wish I had a steadier hand.
Thanks for your quick response, kakeladi.
