Chocolate Shells With Luster Dust -Question
Decorating By darkchocolate Updated 24 Jun 2007 , 4:13pm by chocolateandpeanutbutter
I have seen the opinion go both ways about not eating decorations with Luster Dust and some eat the decorations.
I am planning on making some chocolate shells for a cake and I think they would look better with Luster Dust, but I want people to be able to eat them.
I see a lot of beautiful cakes with lots (50-100) shells and I can't imagine going to all that work and people not being able to eat and enjoy them.
What do you tell people when you give them a cake with all those beautiful shells or other decorations such as chocolate accents?
Thanks,

I tell them that the are not FDA approved for consumption but they are also non-toxic. My completely non-scientific, non-approved theory is that no one is going to ingest enough to cause a problem. There is such a small amount on the shells and most people are only going to eat 1 or 2. 
There are dusts that are FDA approved but they appear to be more like petal dusts.
Yep, you can eat them. We've eaten entire cakes brushed with luster dust and no ill effects. As dodibug stated, it's such a tiny amount (just look at how little is used for the whole cake) that it's not a problem.
