Hi Everyone!
I want to run something past all of you. Would you ever put just regular chalk from a store...such as WalMart, Dollar Store, on your gumpaste or fondant roses, flowers, cake toppers???
I have always used luster dust, petal dust, or something like that. I , myself, would be scared that if I used just regular non-toxic chalk on a cake that a child or someone else might try and eat it, and then get sick.
What are your views??
Thanks
Ive seen in books, Wilton for one, that they suggest using chaulk for coloring. I personally would be scared to do that, especially if its not specifically saying its food grade. Like silicone. Its non-toxic but I dont think you want to consume a bunch of it! I would stick to your petal dusts to be on the safe side!

That's what I was thinking!!! Someone showed me how to make their fondant flowers, and used chalk to color the fondant. I would be scared to use chalk unless it was strictly for decorative purposes, and then I would be scared some child might try and eat it!
