Ok... I'm making my hubby's birthday cake today. I'm doing the Marine Corps emblem on it in CT. I wanted to do the rope border around the bottom, but was wondering.... If I did the rope border out of white chocolate & let it harden, would I be able to paint it with gold luster dust later??? I've tried painting hardened BC and it doesn't work too well. What do you think? Thanks!!!
Ive painted white modeling chocolate before with luster dust/vodka.(the knight on my red dragon cake) I had to paint a few coats on, letting it dry in between coats but it did work... Were you going to try to do it with straight chocolate or modeling choc??
I've painted gold luster/vodka on molded dark chocolate (merkens). The chocolate is rather "slippery" so the gold wasn't as all-covering as I would have liked, and I suspect it could have smudged off if I touched it. If you have everclear I'm guessing that should work much better than the vodka. Anyway, make a test blob and give it a try.
