What do I need to use to get fondant/gumpaste to look metal.
I am going to be doing the cake like Duff's, fist of rock, and I need to know what to use for that metal look.
Thanks.

Lustre dust mixed with clear alcohol/extract painted onto the fondant. IMO it always turns out better if you colour the fondant to match the dust you're using for large areas (so grey for silver, golden yellow for gold, rusty orange for copper etc), hope that helps!

Wow that is crazy, I was just searching the forums and was reading a old post from you and was just looking at your MBE cake.
You actually answered my question twice!
Thank you so much for your help!
