Luster Dust Everywhere!!
Decorating By sweetcakesbydesign Updated 20 Jul 2009 , 12:26pm by cylstrial
Does anyone have any tips on how to place this neatly onto a fondant object and not get it EVERYWHERE? What brush do you use how do you spred it so it doesnt all clump onto one spot.
Please help!!
Thanks
Are you trying to paint with it? Or you do want to put it everywhere, but you don't want it to clump?
I mix a drop of everclear and a little bit of luster dust in a small bowl and then take a 0, 1, or 2 sized paint brush to paint accessories on my fondant cake. Hope this helps!
This is a simple trick. mix a spall amount of vodka into your pettal dust or luster dust and you can paint with it. Use a smaller brush for details and a medium size to fill in areas. You can also paint fondant with a homemade mixture. Dilute royal icing with vodka, add food coloring and paint beautiful designs onto white fondant. Thats how Margaret Braun does it! And thats how I did this cake. No mixing tons of color into your fondant anymore.

if you want to do it try, take your time, and always always take off extra dust. i love a blusher brush for a big area.

I also use something like a blush brush, only it's specifically made for cakes. But it's great because you can do the whole cake in a few minutes - but it doesn't throw tons and tons and tons out really thick. It's just a thin little layer and it looks beautiful.
