Hello.
I just had a quick question about luster dust & pearl dust.
When I apply this to a cookie, do I do it when the cookie icing is dry? Will the dust stick to the cookie even though it is dry or should I use some sort of liquid to adhere it to the icing?
Thanks!
Hi there. the icing should be dry. mix your dust with some lemon extract or vodka (it's a matter of preference) and brush it on. the amount depends on how dark or light you want the dust to appear. HTH
Thanks for the reply! Is the lemon extract a strong taste or can you not really taste it?
You can't really taste it. You can use something that has a lot of alcohol in it (so it evaporates quickly) - hence the lemon extract.
ok, I think you just blew my mind. Um, I use pearl dust for chocolate heart bouquets and I realize you said to mix it with extract. Um, is that why I find it so difficult to put the pearl dust on the chocolate?? I didnt know i had to mix it with the extract! lol I am such a newbie!! lol I have to laugh at myself for this one. thanks for posting and enlightening me!
if you just want a sheen, you can dust it on dry (see my christmas tree cookies in my photos). I haven't tried the extract yet, but you can be that I will when I need to...
