Am I doing something wrong? I can't seem to get the gold and silver effect I want using the dusts- do I just need to use more, or is there another product I need to get? Help- I was trying to do gilded edges on the pages of a book cake and aluminum foil- look on a cupcake wrapper.
Thanks!!!
Hi ~ You need to use something with alcohol (lemon flavoring, vodka - dries/evaporates) to mix your
LUSTER dust with.
Start with a little bit of vodka, maybe a teaspoon full, in a litte bowl. Add to that, little by little
the LUSTER dust. Mix until you get a painting thickness. Too thin/watery it will take you many
coats, too thick & it will look goopy!!! You'll get the hang of it quickly. Good luck and please
post a picture of your cake!!! 
I find that it helps to first color the fondant or gumpaste and then dust. For silver, I first color the fondant black, and for gold I color the fondant brown. This helps deepen the color of the dust without having to use too much.

I've only used light brown, but I've noticed that the darker the brown is, the darker the gold looks. So it all depends on the look you're going for
