Were you planning on using fondant or buttercream icing? If you use fondant, you can use luster dust on it.

You can use white-or light grey or golden yellow, depending on the depth of color you want. I'd get some fondant-I prefer Satin Ice or Pettinice, or MMF, color small pieces, roll them out and brush on the Luster Dust using a soft brush. You can also paint it on using clear vanilla, almond flavoring, or vodka-(which works best for me).
I'm all about doing a "trial run"! icon_wink.gif

Good luck, and welcome to CC!

Hummm, unless there's a metallic paint for airbrushing I don't know how to get BC metallic...I don't airbrush, so maybe somebody else will have a better answer. icon_sad.gif
