OK I've seen some ( ok lots) of cakes with what LOOK like gold piping on them, very shiny not just color gel. Is it like Gold dust mixed in the buttercream icon_confused.gif ? like Collette P. cakes
Or is it piped in royal icing then painted on? Just curious. I know you CANpain the royal icing. But if thats all it is what is it painted with to stay SO bright like gold???

For a metallic look, luster dust is mixed with an alcohol base, like Everclear, lemon extract, or clear vanilla. Take a small amount of the dust, and add alcholol a drop at a time until you have a liquid you can use for paint.
