Hi Guys!!
I was asked to do a cake similar to this and was wondering if anyone knows how to get gold detailing like that? Any help would be much appreciated! THANKS A BUNCH!! :)
ASo do you think it's just buttercream piped with luster? To get the 3D effect? Thanks!
It's definitely not piped. It's molded fondant or gum paste or a mix of them. Mold the shapes, paint with gold dust mixed with vodka, than attach to the cake. Very simple to do.
ALuster won't give you a real genuine gold look. You need gold highlighter powder, used in a similar way like luster, but it really looks like metal. I get mine from CK Products.
AIn my Peggy book, she says to make your moulds/do your piping in yellow/lemon as the base colour then once dry/hard paint over with your shimmer/lustre and spirit solution. This does look like a good way of getting the antique look. However, I agree with AZ Couture, for a really effective end product, you are prob best investing in the paint x
