I need to make just a leetle bit of silver for a cookie that will be used as a cake topper, but I have no idea how to make it. Silvers usually come out looking grey, don't they? I have a photo from my client of a pretty shiny silver on a cookie. Any ideas?
I have painted gold luster dust on cookie that was covered w/ royal icing.
Recently I painted silver airbrush color on cold buttercream.
Although I use vodka (which gives no taste), I have been told that you can use lemon extract. I haven't tried it though, but it came from a good source.
This cake, http://www.cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=gallery&file=displayimage&pid=1274787 was done w/ Nu-silver Luster Dust mixed w/ lemon extract to a paint-like consistency.
The bow and flowers were airbrushed w/ that combination, but I've hand painted w/ it as well.
I use lemon extract when I paint. I have tried vodka and did not have very good luck with it. I'll stick to my lemon.
I mix pearl luster dust with nu silver, I use lemon extract as the alcohol content is really high so it dries fast and without stickiness. The golf clubs in my golf bag cake in my photos was done like that. Took about 3 coats to get it even.
Banba, I googled recipe for confectioners glaze, looks like RI substituting water for milk. Is that what you use?

Royal icing uses meringue powder or egg whites and absolutely no fat (milk.) I believe she's talking about this confectioner's glaze:

Honey, I'm a goofball, I meant toba glace. Sorry
Oh good -- I was worried you were gonna ruin your RI!! Toba's recipe does say you can use water, it lasts longer. I like the consistency better with milk. (I think we've all discussed that before.)
