Thank you in advance...I've made and dried little baby shoes made from gumpaste...and want to glam them with edible glitter. What do i put on the shoes to get the glitter to stick and stay?
I like to mix edible luster dust with vodka and paint it on.. the vodka dries faster than water.
If you want actual glitter vs luster dust: brush with piping gel and it will stick to it just fine without harming!

- Ditto!
You can also thin out the piping gel with a tiny bit of vodka or water if you want to brush it on thinly. The piping gel helps give the glitter some substance to stick to and stay put.
I agree re the piping gel. I made some fondant cherries the other day and wanted to put some red glitter on them to "bling" them up - I just got a paint brush and brushed the piping gel on and sprinkled the glitter on to the cherries. Easy!
