AI am doing a cake for my sister in law to be and she wants me to make the cake shimmer all over, am i right in thinking i just brush on lustre dust or will it be patchy and clump in places? Any advice would be good (i am in the U.K if that makes a difference to the advice or anything lol) :-)
There is nothing like airbrushing shimmer on to a cake. It is fast, less messy and goes on evenly. If you don't have an air brushing system, you can buy it in a can and just spray it on.
AHow many cakes does a can of lustre roughly do? I am doing a 12" 10" 8" but was hoping to do a run through as its the 1st ever wedding cake i have made :-S
I used a can of silver lustre spray (PME brand) to cover a largish silver cake - I'm confident that one can would put shimmer on a 12/10/8. You don't want a thick cover on the whole cake.
Make sure you do something to contain the spray - someone hold a sheet up around the cake while you spray it or take it outside or something. That stuff gets everywhere!
AShe wants a pearl effect on white fondant would sliver be too harsh cos she likes the snowflake sugarflair lustre dust shimmer colour on white

Yes.
There is a cake in my gallery that is airbrushed with pearl luster. It is the champagne & white cake. There are also elements with silver luster & gold luster.
AI would just dust with a large fluffy brush, if its too intense mix with corn flour first to dilute it down especially if the cake is white/ivory underneath
