I ordered some dusting chalks from a wbsite for cake decorating. When I got them I relized they were not anything special, just basicly pastels from like an art department, of course they were non-toxic acid free. If I went to micheals and bough ordinary pastel chalks that were non-toxic would I be able to use them on cakes and decorations? Thanks in advance

The chalks at Michael's are exactly the same as the ones you bought online. I recently purchased a set of metallic dusts from michael's that are also non-toxic and acid free. The colors are wonderful. Michael's actually has a pastel set and a bold set of the chalks that I think you are talking about!

the chalks are in the artist's area where you would find charcoal pencils, etc.

you grate them (I use an exacto blade) and use them to color stuff like gumpaste flowers - anywhere you would use petal dust or simila

The chalks that I am referring to are in the scrapbooking section where they have all the stampers, etc.

Is this stuff edible ?? icon_redface.gif Could it be used to "color" stamps I am using on a cake ?? Like to actually cover the stamp design before I press it onto the cake ??

Teesme, What kind of stamps are you using on your cakes? I am interested in doing this. Thanks
