I have an order for princess themed cupcakes and a cake. I was asked to do a gold crown on each of the cupcakes and gold fondant initials on the cake. Please share how you make or color gold fondant! Thanks!!

i use gold dust, add some vodka or clear vanilla add a few drops to the gold dust and brush on

Awesome! That sounds easy enough. Thanks @Jenmarlene  

I agree with the dusting after the fondant shape is made.  I've tried other things, and it gets "absorbed" into the mix, not to be seen.

start with yellow fondant..helps with the color

I got this at my local cake and candy supply store and have had good luck with it. You brush it on and it tries to a shiny metallic finish.
