HI, if there is anyone that would be so kind as to help me with something, I am doing a cake dummy for a wedding next week, it will be fondant with luster dust....my question is, do I apply the luster dust NOW or closer to the wedding day? I dont want it to look dried out, this dummy is for only 1 tier of 4, the other 3 tiers will be cake. Can anyone PLEASE help me with this?

If its a light color or white, I'd say go for it.... A darker color could fade if it isnt kept somewhere dark....Especially pink! I have a pink cake dummy in my shop, and I swear I have to re-airbrush it every 2 weeks from the fading, while all the other colors have been good for almost a year!

Personally I'd do all of the dusting at the same time. How long could it possibly take just to dust them all at the same time? And....then you would be *sure* it was all the same color & look.
