Okay, so I was not aware before watching SugarShack's Boxes and Bows DVD, that regular luster was non-toxic, but not considered edible. She mentions an edible luster dust, but I don't think she mentions a brand. Can someone point me to a brand and/or place to order.

TIA!

I believe the only luster dust that is considered inedible is the highlighters (gold, silver). But the regular luster dusts are. I use the CK or the Sunflower and its fine. And I actually do use the highlighter's also. Unless its going to be something that their going to eat a lot of like the whole cake being gold, I dont think a small piped dot will make anyone sick. Right now, dragees are considered non-edible in places like CA. And I know Ive eaten them and not got sick and my daughters eat them and they dont get sick. I think the key is moderation.
But you can ask Sharon what she was used if your worried!

I'm not sure what you are reffering to since I don't have DVD yet. I remember seeing Sugarshack's blog where she posted her favorite online cake stores (I believe) and she mentioned that she gets FDA approved dust. The only FDA approved dusts I know are the "Crystal Colors". I also read that Platinum dust by GSA are also FDA approved. Check it out on globalsugarart, there are also other sites selling it too. I personally only use those types of dust since I prefer all my cake stuff FDA approved.

Heres a link to give you an idea of what I'm talking about:

Let me ask Sharon and have her answer on the thread!

highlighters are not edible, not made for food

regular petal and luster dusts are non toxic but not considered food grade.

the only FDA approved brand I know of is Crystal Colors made by Sugarpaste. ( check the supply list card in the DVD case)

available at www.sugarpaste.com and Global

the one i used on the blue bow was fairy blue


HTH!

Okay, so what about Platinum dust like is available at caljava DOT com? It says they are FDA approved.

Well, I may just have to give them a try. Thanks so much, Sharon!
