So I have been asked by my Sorority Alumni group to do a cake for our up coming founders day and I was thinking of doing a round cake with a copy of our pin on the top. any suggestions on how to to the lettering? I know how I would do the crescent and the writing on the crescent just not sure how to the lettering in the middle of the crescent.
Can you roll the shapes from gumpaste or fondant and paint them with silver lustre dust and vodka?
I did this mongram earlier this year, its an 'L' and an 'E' but it may help to give you ideas...
Yes, you should be able to 'paint' it with luster. If you do it dry you will get a more subtle effect. If you mix it with a little vodka you will get a more intense coloration, but I'd be careful about using anything wet with colorflow. Do you have an airbrush? That would be ideal. If you do mix it with vodka, I'd be sure to paint it a few days ahead so it can re-dry!
I often paint on color flow pieces, using luster dust mixed with vodka, using good quality artist brushes, I don't have an air brush 
. Make sure your pieces are dry prior to painting, and as Mel said, give them a whole day at least to re-dry. You can then dry-brush luster dust on if you want to...
I'll have to do some experimenting with the color flow and luster dust before I do this. I would be afraid of it breaking down. If I did do it in two pieces then how would I "glue" them together?
When I make color flow pieces I make several disks in addition to the cake piece. That way 1) I know for sure that it's dry enough to remove, (some of my pieces are pretty big) and 2) I always have some practice pieces to try colors, etc. on.
I put my pattern inside a "page protector" sheet, the kind that goes into a 3 ring binder; I've found that the pieces come off this lots easier than wax paper.
As Mel said you can use RI to attach the pieces together.
