You can brush it on dry for a little extra shimmer or you can mix it with lemon extract or vodka to get a dramatic affect. Either way it adds so much to the cake or cookie.

Is Wilton's Shimmer Dust the same thing as Luster Dust?

Thanks!

OMG! I thought they were all FDA approved and edible! I'm so glad I've used it in my flower spray only. Whew! I wanted to use luster duster for my next whimsical cake, but I now hesitate. So does this mean pearl dust is not FDA approved for consumption? Where can I find the information about this and print it out for me to have it handy for reference. icon_eek.gif

If you go to http://www.sugarcraft.com/catalog/coloring/dusts.htm

they have FDA approved dusts but if look at luster, pearl and petal they ones with "*" can not be used on cakes for decorative pupose. The other are Non-toxic.

two or more of the following Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxide, Carmine, Mica. Please NOTE: those colors indicated by * contain Iron Blue or Chromium Oxide and must be labeled "for decorative use only" - usually these are certain blues and greens.

So, I get petal dust and mix with some pearl works great.

If you go down all the way their lots of helpful tips on how to use.
