Satin ice makes great fondant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baking-bees#post-1909839 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 18:30:10 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1909839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I meant to @cheert16: reply so that you got a notification! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baking-bees#post-1909837 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 18:29:31 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1909837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wilton makes edible glitter: <a href="http://www.wilton.com/store/site/product.cfm?id=3E310D1E-475A-BAC0-5E0EF1DB7697E8A1" rel="nofollow">http://www.wilton.com/store/site/product.cfm?id=3E310D1E-475A-BAC0-5E0EF1DB7697E8A1</a></p> <p>I've used the shimmer/pearl dust before, and its really easy to use. If you mix it with a little vodka, it paints on well, and then the vodka evaporates and leaves just the pretty, shimmery dust. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baking-bees#post-1909458 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 14:55:15 +0000 gingerbebe 1909458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looks like sparkle dust. <a href="http://www.globalsugarart.com/dazzling-gold-diamond-dust-by-gsa-p-16652.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.globalsugarart.com/dazzling-gold-diamond-dust-by-gsa-p-16652.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baking-bees#post-1909452 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 14:54:47 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 1909452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You are using fondant, I assume?

But she chose the design below for her cake- overall easy. What do you think they used for edible glitter? All the ones I have used are more like dust or big chunks of sanding sugar. How do you think they got that brushed look?</p> <p>Help. I am starting to panic because she is getting married on my due date for LO #2- so I need to get my act together! </p> [attach=2545/14/ndt6fd.338x600.IMG_2990.PNG]
