i've been asked to make a replica of a car for a lads 18th birthday. he's got personalized plates so the car has to be 3d. unfortunatley the car is all silver can anyone tell me the best way to get this effect. i have silver dusts but its going to be 10" and i'm worried that everyone will be glittery when trying to cut and eat it.
i hope someone can help as its due this saturday
Use your silver luster dust, and mix it w/ some lemon extract. You may have to do a couple coats, to get a nice consistant coverage, but it works. I just posted a picture in my gallery, with bows that I painted silver.
I would cover the cake in grey, then add some silver and pearl luster dust for some shine. Buff it with a brush (someone suggested a large make up brush).
Sometimes that's a side effect, I had an order on the weekend and had to hand paint the cake to get close to the right blue, I warned her as soon as i delivered the cake that everyone's mouth would probably be blue!
If you apply the luster dust wet (using vodka or extract) OR if steamed when applied dry, the luster dust is less likely to come off during serving.
