Can I mix this in Buttercream frosting to pipe silver on? I think it would be too messy trying to get it "only" where I need it to go.

I don't think that it would really be "silver" if that is the color you are looking for. This gives more of a "shimmering" light effect. It is quite subtle. If you use it on a colored frosting, it will be more noticeable than on white or ecru frosting.

You can mix it into the frosting for a sparkly look or for more detailed look you can use a small pInt brush and dust it on.

it will not turn the buttercream silver. even if you used the whole thing. I used it to add shimmer to a ann. cake but that's it. I tried to paint it on my piping and it just looked grey.

Get the frosting as COLD as you can -- handling it in the pastry bag makes it warm and mushy and it will tend to run or droop

I sprayed the pan like crazy with the cooking spray that contains flour and oil-Pam makes one, Bakers Joy (?), and William Sonoma has a brand. just spray and spray and spray. I have several kinds of pans and they all come out beautifully...hope I'm not jinxing myself. It took me much longer than I anticipated to frost and decorate the train -but it came out darling! have fun!

Hello Judy, Just a thought... I have a recipe for homemade glitter. It is an old recipe from my Mom's cake decorating class. It calls for one Tablespoon of Gum Arabic and one Tablespoon warm water which is mixed over a cup of hot water until completely dissolved. You can add colored oil for color. Apply egg whites to the surface of a glass mirror (any glass mirror will do) and pour mixture onto the glass mirror evenly but not too thin. Let stand 12 hours until dry, and then scrape off with a sharp razor in long strokes. Sift twice using a ordinary strainer and store in a dry covered container. It seems like a lot of time and work but at least you don't have to worry about peanut or wheat affects. Hello Judy, Just a thought... I have a recipe for homemade glitter.

I really don't see why you couldn't mix the two. It would probably give you a nice effect without over-doing the sparkle from the glass.

I imagine this would qualify as a "high ratio" shortening. It is the only shortening I use and it makes a beautiful buttercream frosting. Right out of the tub, it is a "stiffer" consistency than Crisco or room temperature butter. It works great in cake and cookie recipes. I have a child with multiple food allergies and this shortening has worked wonderfully with alternative flours as well.

Yes - heating it up in the microwave for a few seconds will help it be more pliable. I had never used this product before (bought some other brand off store shelf at Michael's) - this was better & easier to handle than store frosting. Just follow directions on the tub - it is really super easy!

I used this with royal icing on snowflake cookies and it really made them sparkle. Don't see why iy wouldn't have the same effect on buttercream unless the consistency if the frosting melts the sugar crystals. The crystals are fairly large, so I would guess it will give you the effect you want.

You can use this stuff on ANYTHING. Before you start your rather large project, I strongly recommend you practice first on a surface similar to your surround. The good news/bad news is that the stuff is pretty unforgiving. Once it's on, it is on. Also, remember to massage/mix it in the tube. If the product has sat for a while, often it will separate in the tub. Hope this helps. Good luck and happy "gilding."

I don't know what that means, sorry. Would you not use butter? I know you could use this to make frosting.

I bought this specifically for frosting. I regret to inform you that after multiple attempts at icing cakes and cupcakes I gave up because it made such a mess. once you remove your finger off the button it continues to release frosting. I dont know maybe I have a defective one, I plan on buying a piping bag soon.

You do NOT want to spread it around the top of the CPU, or anything crazy like some people are suggesting! Drop a dab the size of a small pea in the middle of the CPU, and then apply whatever heatsink/fan you plan to use. The pressure of the heatsink will cause the paste to spread out even, and where it's needed. This also is a lot easier, and cleaner to do! Remember with Arctic Silver (and other similar compounds) it has conductive material that if you got anywhere else could cause some issues! Less is best! :)

I think it would be better to sprinkle on, if you mix with frosting I think some of the sparkle effect would be lost.

We haven't, but I imagine you could use it to make frosting. Just make a regular buttercream frosting and add the powdered Chai to taste, maybe tsp or two. Might be nice on carrot cake or spice cake

I mixed mine with existing. I want some of the blue stuff in there because I think the kristal will freeze too easy otherwise

I am not aware of liners for the giant cupcake. The frosting that you pipe or frost on looks like the liner when it is completed. I use a star tip and create the liner to match the occasion. Usually a # 18 , and drag the frosting up the sides. Looks really cute as a finished product.
