Will this dust provide a sparkle/luster if mixed into frosting before being piped onto cupcakes? Or will it look better sprinkled on?

Probably not. Honestly, this stuff is JUNK. It's like a gray powder. IMO, it kinda looks like mold once it settles into frosting and gets wet. Maybe I just got a bad one, but if you want sparkle, go with real Disco Dust. That stuff is amazing! I wanted more and bought this because it was Prime eligible and would be here in time where real Disco Dust was not. This was a total waste of money. Disco Dust is tops. Hope that helps! :)

The dust looks beautiful sprinkled directly on the frosting rather than mixed in

It is more for mixing with piping gel or dusting on fondant o gum paste. I guess you could sprinkle it on buttercream but looks terrible mixed in. Try the Disco Dust, better sparkle.

hi! thank you for your interest , no, you need first piping with royal icin then use dust !

Definitely sprinkle on and unless it is on a contrasting color, the white is difficult to notice. I did not try the 2X(double size) silver which may show more sprinkled on than white.

Probably sprinkled on. However this is a waste of your money. It barely sparkles and is more of a dirty grey than platinum.

if dry they would look amazing, sparkle, if they are wet it makes them look beautiful frozen , i use this on a elsa frozen party and it gave me the effect i wanted perfect ! i sprinkle on when icing was wet , so she really did look like an ice queen !

I'm no professional but have used it to color my buttercream frosting and fondant. You will have to be careful of how much you use since it is liquid and WILL make the frosting loose and same with the fondant/gumpaste. If you find the frosting to loose just add more powdered sugar and cornstarch for fondant and gumpaste. Keep in mind its only colored water. Hope this helps. Pam

I have onlyused it on cookies covered with royal icing, which is a dry, hard surface. It is beautiful--completely metallic. I am not sure it would dry as well on chocolate candies, but even if it was ess opaque, it would be an elegant touch.

Hi I wanted a metallic gold to paint onto the 'leaves' of a book cake to give the impression of goldleaf edging. It does need a few layers on fondant but it is shiny gold. I didn't use it in a spray so don't know how that looks ...I used a paintbrush.

I did my cake the night before. The image soaks into the icing so I wouldn't do it to early before hand. Night before should be all set though

I have made heavy frostings (my daughter decorates cakes), bread and cookie doughs, all with great success. I love how smooth and creamy my frostings come out. You have to be sure the contents of the bottom of the bowl get incorporated by scraping well early on, but the final outcome is always very good.

have not used this myself, bought for a gift. however, i think fondant would not be suitable for covering these. perhaps candy melts in the colors you want would do what you were hoping to do.

Hello...my wife is the baker not me. She says it's thicker than the store bought icing but not so thick that it's unworkable. It takes pretty easily to cupcakes. I'd recommend this product and would use it again.

I suppose so, but I'm not sure how nice it will look. Because you apply the glue followed by the glitter, which is loose, the glitter would probably end up everywhere without the stencil.

Not likely. You're better off to use melted (and then cooled so it won't be too soft) yellow-colored chocolate to pipe onto the fondant.Good luck, Karla

The edible image is translucent (not opaque), and I actually used one on chocolate frosting. Yes, it looked very vivid, but on the lighter parts, you could see that the chocolate frosting underneath made it look a little darker.

It depends on the type of pan you use. I also don't use any baking sprays or oils in the liners. The cupcakes come out fine and there is no bleeding of the colors.

You have to put a thin layer of white icing or melted candy/chocolate scrape the excess off then put red fondant over it. I know it sucks as a two part system. The look you want is sugar veil. ! Look up using impression mats in you tube and using sugar veil it has great techniques. I hope that i helped

I have the polished, but wonder if the texture has more to do with the recipe than the finish. Case in point - this past Christmas I followed a pizzelle recipe but forgot to add the baking powder. They turned out thin, crisp and delicious. Next time I added the baking powder, and the pizzelles were thicker and soft. I, too, prefer thin and crisp and will intentionally omit the baking powder next time. Just my experience, hope it's helpful.

Since it is food grade it would be safe to use, however it would likely float on top of the glass. I don't think it would mix throughout the lemonade. It is a very, very fine sparkly powder. Also, it might not stay separated but could glob together. I used it to dust cupcakes that were moist buttercream frosting which worked fine. Sorry that is not much help. What a creative idea, hope it works for you.

the whole sheet did you may want to wait and frost your cake at the same time you put the image on so you can use the frosting around the sides to blend it in also be very careful with image I tore mine a little bit but it still looked good hoped this helped
