Anybody Buying Disco Dust In Bulk?
Business By classiccake Updated 21 Apr 2013 , 2:21am by classiccake
I bought disco dust in a 1 pound bag and it is just about gone. My employees complained when they started using it because there was a filler in it and the dust was not nearly as sparkly? We are about out and am wanting to find another source. I bought the pound from CK. Any thoughts?
That wasn't her question.
I haven't seen it in bulk like you're asking about but I found a lot of companies that sell it at a discount if you buy 6 or more, 12 or more etc of the small 5g or 3g containers like this one http://www.discodusts.com/. I've never purchased anything from them but I was just trying to be helpful
AIf you will be using it on anything edible you'll need a food-safe product like crystal colors, I don't know if they sell in bulk but you can contact them and ask: http://www.sugarpaste.com/

Whoa! No one is bagging on you, just showing concern, so please don't get upset. Hopefully you already know it isn't edible, and you just make a LOT of decorations that are removed from the cake. :)

AND? I just wanted to hear it from her that she isn't sprinkling it all over the cakes, since it is plastic.
ALet's try to stay on topic here, OP now knows (if they didn't already) that disco dust is not food-safe so there's no point in discussing that topic any further.

Unless I am mistaken, and I'm not ( ;-D ) Crystal colors aren't sparkly.
Exactly.... I buy my disco dust in 5 grams, so a pound is almost 91 of those little canisters. I thing of disco dust lasts me about 2 years...
I know from another product I buy that weighs about 14 grams (1/2 of an ounce) that is a decent size bag. Multiply that by 32 and I would have no idea what to do with it all...
Oh I know! It looks like a tiny amount, but it lasts forever. I have a pot of rainbow dust, and it still has a lot left. Bought that pot at least 4 years ago. But I rarely use it.

Oh gawd! AGAIN, it wasn't her question! This is why I RARELY post on CC! Please help others that need your advice without judging and going off topic! If they ask a specific question such as "Is this product "food safe?", then, by all means, DIG IN and give all your opinions!!

I care, really, I do
There is nothing wrong with educating about a product. Would you simply answer it if someone on a cake decoration forum ask where they can buy quality motor oil for cheap, because their bakery employees are complaining about the last batch they bought?

The OP never asked for your advice (or to be "educated") on a product! ...and "motor oil"?? Really??!
APlease try to stay on topic here, if you want to bicker you are free to take it to PMs.
To reiterate the original post of this thread :

If anyone has some information as to where this member can find good quality disco dust (presemably in the USA) please share your thoughts.
Please don't derail the thread, guys.
Check out Chef Rubber they sell larger containers of it. It's no where near a pound though! Will your current supplier give you a discount if you buy in larger quantities?
One more thing... who the heck are you and how can you possibly qualify this ridiculous statement with actual facts?? *heavy sigh* Show me something that POSSIBLY may justify you giving such a strong opinion...jaw-dropping cake photos, amazing client testimonials, award winning cakes... prophecies from God.....anything??! Yeah, didn't think so!
*snort*
Just to qualify....we do an enormous amount of gumpaste work here. Thanks for your help everyone!
ABC cake decorating on Phoenix az sells the rainbow disco glitter in a pound amount! You can order on their wed site and you can call them and ask them for other colors in that amount! I love this store!
I would go with Chef Rubber as well. I took a few classes at a convention and that is where some big named cake stars get their stuff from! I ordered and got some great deals!
