I use pearl and luster dust often and am still experimenting with the different effects. Problem - I want to make blue or pink fondant shimmer/satiny without making white patches on it which is the problem I had with brushing on dry or alcohol- mixed pearl dust. What am I doing wrong? I've achieved that look before, to make fondant satiny looking without adding color - but forgot how I did it! Help!
For example below, but how did I do this? Don't I feel stupid!
wow beatiful cake! im laughing because i too, often forget how i do certain techniques. haha. i always say i will write it down while im doing something new.
anyways, i dont have an answer but im curious as well.
good luck and hopefully someone can help you (us)
To clarify, the fondant was already pink. I brushed it with SOMETHING (?? what, I would love to remember!) not crisco, though, and got a satiny finish. Dust alone, or diluted? Color and type? Yikes, I'm losing my memory and my mind! Help!
chanielisalevy, I don't know how you did it, but the effect is so soft and delicate. It looks like one of my granddaughter's blankets. I can't wait to see the answer to how you did this. That technique is definitely going to go on my list of things to never forget!
