Hello,
I was thinking of making an "Autobots" face for the top of a cake (transformers) and was wondering if I made it with fondant & tylose how can I get the appearance of a silver/metallic colour? So it looks like a shiny robot?
Thanks so much!
I just finished a guitar (in my photos) and was also going for the metallic look. I used 2 techniques: 1) grey fondant and dry dusted silver lustre dust and 2) painting silver lustre dust mixed with vanilla onto white fondant/tylose. I found the grey fondant and dry dusting the lustre dust was easier and gave it a nicer look. You can also paint your fondant grey first, then dry dust with lustre dust. HTH
I agree with Cakesrock, Color your fondant gray first then dust with silver luster dust. Use a brush similar to a small blush brush. I have tried to mix the luster dust with vodka and I just don't like the way it turns out.
If thats the case it was too thin. Thanks gotta try it thicker.
I use kopykake's airbrush silver cake paint...works great!
There is a silver metallic edible paint in a small jar for about 4.99, that you can just paint one. It works great. I use it all the time. I think you can get it from fancy flours.
Thanks for all your replies. It came out great. I was very happy with it along with the birthday boy and his family!
