Aniversary Cake - Luster Dust
Decorating By MariaLovesCakes Updated 24 Feb 2007 , 4:14pm by MariaLovesCakes
Here is a cake I did for my in-laws. It is fondant (Wilton's recipe), fondant roses painted with the luster dusts that are sold here at Cake Central.
Let me tell you that they are WONDERFUL!!! They are nice and dark and really shiny. I didn't have lemon extract or clear alcohol so I used vanilla extract and it worked GREAT!!!
The cake is a butter cake soaked in simple syrup Amaretto and Brandy flavored and filled with pineapple.
Maria,
Your cake is great...love those roses 
Yep, I have some of the colors and love them to death...especially the Supreme Sparkle 
I can't wait to use mine. I bought all the colors they had in stock.
Beautiful!!! Don't you just love lustre dust?? I think it's my favorite thing to work with!!
Thank you, everyone!!!! I can't wait to use the luster dusts again!!!!
Did you start with white flowers or did they have some color? How many coats of did you have to use? Your cake is beautiful.
The flowers were white when I started, no color. It only took one coat of luster dust. I couldn't believe how deep the color was when I applied it. Only one coat!!!! 
Thanks for the compliments!
Yes, the vanilla extract was thick. Not extremely thick but it wasn't thin like some I've used before.
I used the Bronze color one.
I just used a dab of dust and a few drops of extract. I started with about 1/2 tsp because I wasn't sure how much I needed. I repeated the process as I needed it.
But a littlle goes a long way.
