for all of you who have lustre dusted the entire surface of a fondant covered cake, what did you find the best way to apply the lustre dust? I was thinking of buying a new blusher brush (not the huge ones, the small/mid-size ones), and using that, is that a good idea or do you have a better method?! Thanks!

Do you mean painting it on or just dusting it so it has a slight shimmer?? If the latter is the case, I just make sure I make nice little circles. I think that brush would do just fine

Yep, just dusting the surface so it shimmers, not painting - thanks!

I used a small blusher brush on my wedding cake and it worked perfectly. Caljava also sells something similar that you put the lustre dust into the barrel and the dust comes out the brush part, very cool and works very well too!
