Order: 3 tiered fondant covered cake in "ivory and gold" with a bead border. No other decoration, how the heck do I put gold in it? I can't get luster dust where I am at and I don't have time to mail order it. I have that crappy wilton stuff in gold.......
Any ideas how I can fulfill this order. I have "Freedom" as to how to do the cake...... although there isn't much to do, they don't want flowers or anything...
I was thinking about the gold beads... BUT I only have the wilton gold shimer dust..... I tried the silver and thought it was useless. Is the gold any better?
I am going to roll out the MMF and use a tiny circle cutter to make a bunch of circles the same size and roll them into balls. Should I immediately roll them in the shimmer dust? Or let them dry a little and roll them in shimmer dust or let them dry completely and roll them in shimmer dust? I don't think I can combine with vodka... has anyone tried vodka and the wilton stuff?
The metallics are generally better with alchohol. And it evaporates quickly. I would try mixing a small amount of dust, with alcohol-one drop at a time. When you have a paintable liquid, try it on a small piece of fondant and see what you get. It should be fine. If it works, make the pearls, let them dry at least a full day or more, then you can drop them into the liquified gold, spin them around, then remove them as quickly as possible.
I'm sure it will be fine, but I am still nervous....
