will Wilton pearl dust make icing a gold color if mixed in. I would like to make icing a metallic gold to pipe around the cake, and I am wondering how to create a metallic gold, will the Wilton pearl dust work? Is there anything else?

hmm im not sure. i would think you would need ALOT of dust to do that. hopefully someone with more knowledge will have an answer

The gold sheen airbrush color by Amerimist works well. Mix it with a little vodka or lemon extract to help it dry faster. I think that with the Wilton you have to do 2-3 coats.

Wilton's pearl dusts are not meant to be mixed into buttercream as a coloring.

I would pipe what design you want then come back over it and brush that with the pearl dust mixed with lemon extract or an alcohol like everclear or vodka.
