Hi Ladies,

I working on a quinceanera cake for my daughter. I want to color my royal icing with gold dust and pipe it on to buttercream frosting. also I wanted to cover my plastic tier legs with the royal icing to make them look gold. Is any of this possible? Has anyone tried this before?

thanks
Delores

Welcome to our addiction!!! Hi my name is Christy.

I've never tried dusting it first them piping.. I've always piped, let it get hard then dust.. As far as your plastic tiers.. I would think you should probably cover them in fondant or gumpaste then dust them with gold dust.. bump..

I agree with Briansbaker on the royal icing. As for the columns, you could paint them with non-toxic gold paint.
