Was wondering if anyone knows how I would get a shiny silver color? I am making a cake with a hammer and nails and would like them to be a bit shiny.. I'm not finding anything but the luster dust in silver? Thanks in advance. ohh.. I was planning on using either molding chocolate or fondant to make them!

Luster dust is what most people use. Start with gray fondant and then either mix the dust with vodka and paint it on, or put it on with a dry brush.

This was done that way:


You can also paint it with airbrush color. I did this monogram that way, starting with white fondant:


The airbrush color looks more like metal than Wilton's silver dust does, but I haven't tried any of the better brands of silver dust...I have a feeling they would work a lot better than wilton's silver luster dust.

Thank you soo much that was very helpful!! It will work great for what I'm doin!!

Yup Texas my dear you must get some better dusts! I used silver highlighter on the S on the Super-girl cake in my photos. It looks chrome like. I just made some modeling choc and am going to try the luster on it in day or two.
