Hi everyone, I see that there are some folks who uses Luster Dust, but does any one know of the safest way of using this product on cake since it said on the small container ("For use on non-edible items"), well if this is the case, then what is cake? something that we eat, especially after being in the kitchen and baking all those delicious and wonderful cakes. My guess would be that one would highlight the wording of whatever you want to put on the cake, but it must rest on something other than the cake, especially if the cake is going to be sitting out of a while. I was thinking on the other hand that one would put wax paper or plastic swan wrap and put on cake then put icing on the wax paper or plastic wrap prior to putting on the luster dust wording. Also, how much extract do you use when using luster dust? In teaspoons or drop of the extract/s and how much luster dust would I have to use for any wording? Can you give an example. TIA and greatly appreciate your help. Have a good night all. 
Well, there is a difference between highlighter dusts and luster dusts. Highlighters specifically say not for consumption--there is a ton of metal and other things in them I believe that the FDA has not approved--please someone correct me if I am wrong 
. With those items I tell people to remove them before serving and not to eat them. Luster dusts are non-toxic. You will find that all the "big decorators" use luster dusts--even on portions of cake that will be eaten. The amount per person at a wedding or other party is so miniscule--think of eating that crayon as a child. But some people choose not to use them at all and that is okay too. 
When using luster dust to paint, I use a medicine dropper to add vodka until I get a good paint consistnecy.
Missyek, thank you for the medicine dropper hint. I'm going to be attempting my first painted scroll work on a cake and wasn't quite sure what the easiest way to mix the dust up!
