So my dilemma is how to make the bow gold. I have an airbrush machine, but I am afraid that if I airbrush it gold and try to handle it before it dries that it will be ruined and if I wait until it dries that it will crack. I also thought of painting it on with a brush, but I am worried about streaks. I see that the one in the second link looks very clean cut and it almost looks like the gold color was blended in, but I have never heard of that. Please help give any ideas possible that will make this cake happen. At this point I am at a loss. I appreciate all the help you can offer. Thanks again.

It does not take long for airbrushed color to dry.....less than 1 minute usually.
So you can ab it, let it dry, and still be able to place it on the cake.
I don't know how humid it is in Miami but I still think it won't take long for the gold to dry.
Alternative: you can ab the bow on the cake but you iwll have to mask everything around it so the dust doesn't get on any other part of the cake.
When I look at those bows, they appear to me that they were made with colored fondant and then shimmered with pearl dust.
When I make grey or gold items, I color the fondant to the desired color I need and then I shimmer it with the matching pearl dust.

I agree, when I did my silver bows I started with gray and use vanilla to paint on the silver pearl dust.
Thank you all for your help. I appreciate all of the advice and I think I will try coloring the fondant first and then brushing it with gold luster dust. I think this will work best. Thank you kakeladi, inspireddecorator & paulstonia. You came to my rescue. You guys are awesome
