How do I get a silver look on my cake? I have already colored my fondant grey, but I want to give it a shiny metal look! DOes Wilton make something that would do it? Thanks
Silver Luster Dust.
Depending on how "silvery" you want it to look, you can either brush it on dry, or mix it into a liquid and apply with a brush. Dry brushing with give it a little sheen, but not make it look like silver. Mixing with a liquid will make it look like real-ish silver.
I mix my luster dust with vodka (dries quickly with no flavor or residue), but I've heard of others mixing it in an extract: lemon, almond or vanilla. It just has to be soemthing with a high liquor content so it dries quickly.
I used silver luster dust mixed with vodka on this cake:

The photo doesn't show how shiny it actually is, but the silver really looks like metal.

I just made a cake with a silver transformers mask on top. I used silver powdered food color, and added a few drops of vodka to the powder. It was a little thinner than paste. I then painted the fondant with the "paint". It looked great, very shiny! And it was totally edible. Sorry I don't know the exact name of the product, but it was powdered. Attached is the cake with the silver mask!
they're brilliant! I know a few people who have made R2D2 & he always looks fab made up. I'll order the lustre dust tonight ready for next week, & try it out both dry & mixed with a little vodka to see which gives me the better effect for what I'm after. Thanks very much
