I think you need to mix gold luster dust with vodka or something similar and paint it on.

Americolor has a gold coloring. The below cake usings it.

If you are looking for more of a truer gold color you will have to use luster dust on it, either by dry painting or mixing it with an alcohol to paint with.

Beautiful cake, Texas Sugar.

Thanks to you both for your replies.

Is there anything I can use instead of alcohol to paint on the luster dust?
