can you paint on a candy mold with luster dust? I'm making my son's communion cake and I have the praying hands mold. I wanted to paint it with the bronze luster dust that I have but wasn't sure if it would work.
Anyone know? Thanks.

Yes you can. I find it works best if dry dusted on, but just this am I used pearl dust mixed with lemon extract on a white candy melt tiara.

Yes--it will work. I unmold the chocolate, then apply, using a dry brush. Start off with just a little, tiny bit to test the coverage you want.

If you want REALLY intense shine, you can spray your chocolate with cocoa butter first, and more dust will stick.

thanks for the tips. Here's the final cake. My icing was so smooth and then the mold decided to move a little. I tried to move it back and ended up with marks in the icing. Everyone was impressed with the mold so that made me happy.
