HELP! Anyone have a great suggestion to get a "true gold" for on a drip cake? I just did one last night and I find my color is more a 'butterscotch' or 'caramel' in color - rather than a GOLD. I only want suggestions that are 100% edible, FDA approved for consumption, please! I keep seeing pictures of these awesome GOLD DRIP cakes (and beautiful gold lettering on decorated sugar cookies) and just can't find the right company/color to get that shade. I watched a video tutorial on a gold drip cake and at the end they showed the brand they used in the video and it was "not for consumption". I want it to be edible if it's on a cake! Can anyone help me find a great brand that can be eaten and looks bright gold???
I have not used their metallics, but Roxy & Rich makes them and they are approved for consumption, even in the USA. They appear to be very bright and shiny, just like the inedible kind.
Thanks, Sandra! I used the ROXY brand on my cake last night. I just bought their Aztec gold a few weeks ago and this was my first time using it. Wonder if another of their "gold" colors is what I need? It's better than other brands I've tried, but still more of a "butterscotch" shade and not quite the color of gold I was wanting.
I really have no idea, sorry. R & R is the only brand of which I am aware approved in the US. Wilton has a metallic gold in a spray which is not quite as glittery, but still a pretty gold, which is edible, but it wouldn't work for a drip.
Somewhere yesterday I saw a new product designed particularly for making gold drips. It may have been Evil Cake Genius. Of course, it may not be approved in the US either.
Here it is, the product is for sell from Evil Cake Genius. It says it is completely edible.
Thank you, Jchuck and SandraSmiley! Both of those links you gave me were extremely helpful. I sincerely appreciate it! I will look into both of those. :-)
