Learn how to mix gold luster dusts to the right consistency to paint on top of decorated cookies. See my favorite luster dust brands here -- bit.ly/2mjTI1g
I’ve seen so many videos and none like this. This is literally the best video that shows me how to paint gold and what I should be looking for! Thank you so much!!!
THANK YOU!!! I'm making a gold cake for my stepdaughter's birthday and the last time I worked with gold luster dust... well, see through, clumpy and decidedly disappointing. Feel much more confident to go forth and make not just shiny cookies, but accidentally gigantic, shiny shiny super shiny golden cakes! And again, your commentary is just Brilliant and sets you apart. Who wouldn't love to read a cook/cakebook in bed with your word. A baker and a writer. What combo! Keep posting lovely things please!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I was trying to figure out how to substitute lemon extract because I was nervous that it would leave a taste to the cookies. I can’t wait to try this!
This is so simple and straight to the point. I wanted glitter but somehow ended up mistakenly buying this dust and I want to try it out for the first time. This really helped my confidence. Thank you!❤
Hi Georganne, bit late getting to this one. I've been definitely making the paste too thin, so you've totally helped me. (and you are not the only impatient cookie decorator, I could kick myself sometimes) Many thanks :) Marie
I’m just now finding you and I’m in LOVE with your videos! You think like me lol! I always rush!!!! And right when I asked “how can I get it a brighter color” you totally answered it lol!
😃. I always enjoy your videos. I mix alcohol but the other day I tinkled in water. I have used airbrush colors with powders. I'm looking for powders that I'll be happier with. Tyfs. Roll em is one but I always forget to search it. Lol
I need this for my 3D work of assignment and this is just very brilliant!! Yes thank you!!! Also ,can this applies on other things and hold the same consistency ? My model is flower sponge based covered in emulsion white paint water base.
OMG!!! I have been searching high and low for tutorial on this. I think I gave been using too much vodka. My mixture are usually translucent and clumpy. It also eats through dried royal icing like acid, ugh! Thank you so much!!!
Yes! A thicker paste generally works MUCH better! And if you have problems with it eating through your icing...try drying the icing with a moving air source (like a fan or dehydrator). It creates a glossy sheen that acts as a barrier to the liquid.
Start with icing that is similar in color to the rose gold you want to end with. Pipe the border and let it dry. Then mix rose gold colored luster dust with alcohol or water and paint on top of the dry icing.
Thank you for your advice. I will do that. I was wondering have you heard of Edible Art paint by Sweet Sticks? They have a very pretty metallic range of premixed colors and nonmetallic, but the metallic range was not recommended for royal icing. You can use it for crusted buttercream, fondant and cookies, but I was adviced that the royal icing will cause the paint to not to dry well.
You can use dry luster dust on chocolate. Because chocolate is oil based though, if you mix it with water, it will bead up on the surface of the chocolate.
Yes! It definitely does! The downside with alcohol is that the gold tends to rub off once dry. It doesn't do that with water. So you really have to pick which one matters more to you.

I did the air brush with the powder but in silver before watching this and it worked awesome

Ha ha ha!! Generally - when you use alcohol, you want to use the highest proof you can find...like Everclear.
LilaLoa okay thank you! haha God Bless!
Alcohol gives you more shine
Yes! It definitely does! The downside with alcohol is that the gold tends to rub off once dry. It doesn't do that with water. So you really have to pick which one matters more to you.
