I just love the classy way it looks!

To get that pearly look, paint the fondant with a mix of one of the dusts (I have gotten results just like that with the white Wilton one) and a little vodka or lemon extract.

Thank you!

If you want the look on the icing and not the flower don't spray the flower also.. will change the color completely .. I have been disappointed more than once by doing this... To get a more uniform look spray the pearl on

White pearl dust will look awesome...

if you want to use a color like blue.. there is a blue pearl dust that will enhance the blue and not turn it colors.. but it will look white in the little bottle

You can also just brush the luster dust on dry. It works fine that way. I did these using super pearl luster dust.

Ok, so which of these would give that effect? I had purchased silver once from wilton and it just made stuff look dirty....not shiny like that...help!

Grammasue ,

Those are gorgeous !!!!!

Wgoat5,
Is there a spray you can buy or you just use an airbrush?
TIA

Grammasue those are stunning!!

Sue those are BEAUTIFUL!!!

Can I ask where you got the little stands???

I agree with GRAMMASUE that it looks like the lustre dust had been dusted on dry. You can use new/clean paint brushes or even a new blush brush to do that.

For a heavier painted look, mix the dust with vodka or lemon extract like Texas_Rose suggested.

It depends what look you want. You may want to do a trial of each method on some extra fondant to see what look you want to achieve.

Thanks everyone! I agree, try both methods to see which works the best for you. I find that the dry method is quick and easy for small areas like the cupcake.

I bought the "stands" at Michaels. They are actually candle holders and I hot-glued the stones on the bottoms to match the cupcakes.
