This is mind blowing!!!!Can’t wait to try this method out…Thank you so much for the tip 🙏🏽
You are so very welcome! Let me know how it goes and if any questions come up.👍😃
You're genius! As a Muslim baker it's so hard to find something alternative to alcohol. I once tried lime juice and powdered sugar but it wasn't good... This is perfect! Liked and subscribed 🌹
Thank you! Vegetable oil is such a great alternative to alcohol. I suggest it for an alternative for painting gold on cakes and it just clicked to use it as a non-alcoholic drip that doesn’t affect the taste of the cake. Sometimes the simplest answer is right in front of us.😄I am so glad this helps you out! Thank you so much for liking and subscribing!
Yes indeed, I am also a Muslim hobby baker and so so happy with this 💜
@@tastebakery unfortunately it didn't worked out for me as much as I tried it... Idk why... But maybe it will work for someone else
Oh no, I am so sorry to hear this! Here are some troubleshooting tips in case it helps…Start with approximately a 1:1 ratio of vegetable oil to gold dust and either add more oil if it won’t drip or more gold dust if it’s too thin. (I like to start with less oil at first so I don't waste gold dust.) Try to get it as thick as you can so it is only as thin as you need it to be to just barely drip. You also need to drip as little of the mixture as you can, the smallest drop that will come off of your spoon otherwise it will drip down the whole cake. If you are using a different gold dust than I did that could be the culprit because the gold dusts vary a lot in texture and ingredients used so a different gold dust could possibly change things quite a bit. You can also chill the cake before you drip it. I honestly don’t know if chilling the cake would make much of a difference but it’s an extra precaution. If you want to give it another try let me know what happened and I can try to figure out the problem for you.👍😊
@@tastebakery I'm sure it really matters which gold dust you use
I am blown away! I just tried and it works perfectly. You are a genius and I am so glad I found you!!! Thanks so much!
YAY! You are so very welcome! I am so glad this technique worked for you! Welcome to my channel! 😃
I have been struggling with my gold drip for along time, Thank you Thank you Thank you I can’t thank you enough God bless you for sharing the great video it came out so beautifully well.
You are so very welcome! I am so glad I could help you end your gold drip struggles and the technique worked so well for you! YAY!
Omg!! I just tried this method and I’m sooo happy. It really worked and is so pretty. Thank you 🙏🏾. Sending love from Jamaica 🇯🇲
You are so very welcome! I am so glad this worked for you. I absolutely love this method too. Sending love to Jamaica! ❤️
i love this just tried it! i added a little powder sugar for thickness but the drip stayed perfectly in its place 🥰🎉 i tried a different recipe with glucose and vodka it was such a headache . life save thanks again!!!!
I am so happy to hear this!! You are so very welcome. So glad it worked out for you!🥳
Fantastic. Can’t wait to try it. Thank you
You are so very welcome! Let me know how it goes👍😊
You might just save the day for me. Trying this tomorrow, asked a bunch of people who said it’s not possible. I believe in you. Let’s do this. I will follow up!!!
Oh it is possible. Thanks for believing in me. Just make sure you keep the mixture as thick as possible with plenty of gold dust… just thin enough that it will run down the cake. Try it on an upside down cup first to see how it is dripping. Don’t be afraid to adjust the ratio if need be maybe your vegetable oil is thinner than mine or your gold dust soaks up more oil. It’s great to start with following directions exactly but many people give up before using their own common sense to make adjustments. Also, release the smallest amount of the mixture from the spoon as you can. Let me know if any questions arise when you try it tomorrow. I’m excited to hear how it goes. You got this!
Thank you so much for this technique ❤️❤️
You are so very welcome!😊
Oooh! Can't wait to try this on my next cake~

thanks so much I did this 3x and the results are amazing.. thanks so much ..
You are so very welcome! I am so happy to hear this. Thank you!
Oh! I will try this one omg ty
You are so very welcome! If you are using a different gold dust than I used in this video I recommend testing it out first on an upside down cup for a couple of days (putting it through the same process you would your cake for example, refrigerating it). Through thousands of people trying this method we have discovered that some gold dusts mix well with the oil at first but then later separate.
Dry this technique good? Thank you 😊
Thank you for this I have been thinking on how to achieve this
You are so very welcome!
I was looking for the substitute of Alcohol. This idea save my life. Thank you so much.
Going to try it tomorrow..❤
You are so very welcome! I am so happy to hear this. Let me know if any questions come up. Although most people have reported success with this technique, If you use a different gold dust than I used in this video I suggest dripping it on an upside down and putting it through the same process that your cake will go through to play it safe. Through thousands of people trying this technique we have discovered that some gold dusts don't mix well enough with the oil and the oil can later separate from the drip. Let me know how it goes. Good luck! 😊
Thanks so much for this.
You are so very welcome! 😊
I love the epic super hero music for this video, because that's is what it is! What a time saver! Thamk you!
You are so very welcome! When I thought of this idea I swear this type of music started playing in my head. 😂 Make sure you test out your drips on an upside down cup and let it sit for awhile before you try it on your actual cake. Some people have had problems with the oil separating from the gold later. If you use the same gold dust I used it should work great but I think it does not work well with some gold dusts, especially if they are just non-toxic as opposed to edible I think because edible mixes better with the oil.
Smart, I’m going to try this for my moms cake this weekend but rose gold
Thank you! Sounds like you are making your mom a beautiful cake! Let me know how it goes. 👍😊
Great tip, thank you 😊
You are so very welcome!😊
THANK YOU ...THANK YOU for sharing !
You are so very welcome!
This is awesome!!! Thank you so much for this! Very helpful wohooo 🥰 plus i love all the puns u throw out while explaining 🤣 keep goinggg ✨
You are so very welcome and thank you!! I am so glad to hear you found this video helpful and that you share in my love for puns.🤣 Thank you for the compliments and encouragement! 🥰
Just tried your drip, and it's absolutely fabulous! Thank you so very much!!
You are so very welcome!!
Perfect!!
Thank you!
Do you think coconut oil would work out the same ? Might taste a little better ??
This is great!!!!!!!
Thank you so much!!
I did this and it worked perfectly! thank you so much. I think this looks much smoother than using PS. wish I could post a pic of the cake
You are so very welcome! I am so glad it worked out for you. I agree it looks a lot smoother this way, like liquid gold. I would love to see a picture of your cake! I have had success uploading pictures to Google Drive and sharing the Google Drive link in TH-cam comments. You could try this or if you want to email me the picture I can create and post a link of your picture in the comments. (You can go to my channel and click on the About page and get my email address there) No pressure though if this is too much of a hassle. Again I am so glad this worked out for you!
Does it dry easily?
@@SellerButBetter yes as long as the cake has been in the fridge fully cold. Just a tad at a time
@@SellerButBetter My drips never completely dry but they do stay in place.👍
Does it affect it if you put the cake in the fridge after?
Try he oil dripped past the gold drips. Any help on why?
Thank you so muchhhhh!!!
You are so very welcome!!😊
Great tutorial
Thank you so much!
I was wracking my brain yesterday (for only a few minutes though). So, smart!!!! Thank, you!
You are so very welcome!😃
Very nice cake decoration
Thank you so much!
Thank you ! So much
You are so very welcome!
Thanks for sharing! Do you have a link for the gold dust you use? I hate the one I have, it has this weird green tinge.
You are very welcome! Here is the link to the Bakell Super Gold Luster Dust that I used in this video: bakell.com/products/super-gold-edible-luster-dust-4-gram-jar I also added a link in the video description.👍😊 I hear you, some of the gold dusts can be really bad.
thank you so much!!!
You are so very welcome!
Please, hope it won't spoil if I make a large quantity and store. Cos I want to make this gold drip for my cake
Will it dry hard or remain sticky?
Ohh dripping on an upside down cup first is a great tip thanks
You are so welcome!😊
Looks beautiful but does it set at all? How do you handle the cake after for transport etc?
It does not ever completely set or harden nor does it completely dry because it is oil. The gold dust thickens it up quite a bit so it does dry a litte over time but not completely. All you really have to worry about during transit is not to touch the drip but the drip will stay in place during transport. Some gold dusts do not work with this method, they mix well at first but then separate from the oil later so for best results use the Bakell Super Gold Luster Dust that I used in this video but if you want to use a different gold dust I recommend testing it out on an upside down cup first and put it through the same process as your cake for example put it in the refrigerator, let it sit as long as your cake would sit before cutting, etc. Edible dusts tend to work better with this method than non-toxic dusts.
Wow... Who would have thought
Hey there! I would love to try this out, just wanted to know if u can make it ahead of time and if yes how do i store it and for how long? Tysm :)
Hi! Yes, you can make it ahead of time and store it in an airtight container at room temperature. Make sure you mix it again before you use it. I am not sure how long it will store well. I use mine up pretty quick so I have never stored it for very long. 😄
I wonder if I could use this gold drip on whipped cream cake? Beautiful. Thank you!
Yes it can! 👍😃 Although, if your whipped cream is lighter and more delicate than the gold drip it could cut through the whipped cream on the edge of the cake when you drip it. If you are concerned this might happen I recommend chilling your cake so the whipped cream is more firm when you apply the gold drip. 😃
@@tastebakery Thank you! If I ever try, I'll let you know. Awesome tips. ❤
Thank you!!
Oh my goodness!❤
I was so excited to try this!, best gold drip I have ever done!!!!
Only issue is I think the oil absorbed into the buttercream and caused a bit of cracking.
But I was able to buff them out 😊
Still, best gold drop I have ever done thanks to you 😊
I am so glad you were able to buff the cracks out. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with this technique. I am so glad you are happy with it overall! YAY!! Thank you so much for letting me know! 😃
Question, does the drip stay nice for a few days?
Hello!! Are you able to fill in the top of the cake with this technique as well? I’m sure you could…
Hello! Yes but you have to use VERY little of the mixture. I only use the top of the drips and pull the mixture inward to cover the cake. If you use too much of this on top of your cake it looks weird so just paint it on very lightly and when the cake is chilled so you don't smudge your frosting.
Can we try wirh coconut oil? I have wiltons gold dust would it work
Awesome, go for it!!
Thanks for sharing this video. Does this harden with it being veg oil?
You are so very welcome. No, it does not harden nor does it completely dry so you have to be careful not to touch it. If you use a different gold dust than I used in this video test it out first on an upside down cup for a couple of days and put it through the same process as you would your cake. We have found that some gold dusts mix well at first but separate from the oil later. If you use the gold dust I used you should be fine. 😊
This is great, would Canola oil work too?
I think so!
Would this method be ok on fondant or just on buttercream? Also, I have seen recipes that use clear vanilla or even lemon extract, dust and powdered sugar to thicken it up. What is your take on these methods?
My gold drip method works on fondant too! As far as the extract method, they work really well but taste pretty bad, there is just not enough powdered sugar to cover up the extract taste which is what inspired me to create this method.👍😃🎂 The positive to the extract method is that it dries to the touch. I tried lots of different extracts and alcohols and found clear tequila aka blanco tequila to be the best tasting but it still was extremely strong tasting. You could add powdered sugar to my method if you find it to be helpful but I would first start without it and see how you like it.😊
Good idea!! I will try it with odourless coconut oil because that hardens in the fridge and there will be less chance of smudging anything. Hope it will work as well. Thank you for the idea!!
Back at you! Great idea to use odorless coconut oil. I will have to give that a try. Let me know how it goes.👍😃 Thank you!
@@tastebakery will let you know for shure!
@@ruyet78 Thank you!
How did it go with the coconut oil? I was thinking about that as well because I'd like to have it firmer to avoid the runny look. Also, did the gold start to look "thin"?
Well I tried it but I think I was a bit too greedy with the lustre because it was shiny when fluid, so stopped adding lustre. When dried/hardened the drips outer layer was not that shiny anymore, but when i scratched the outer layer a bit the layer under it was more shiny. But to be honest I only tried it once. Had no cake with golden drip since then...
With regular drips i usually cover the whole top of the cake with the chocolate would I do the same with this kind of drip?
Yes but a little bit differently here is an explanation of how to do it....For the top of the cake I recommend first applying the drips and then using a paintbrush to pull whatever gold mixture has pooled on the top edges of the cake in toward the center of the cake ultimately painting the top of the cake gold. You may or may not have to apply additional gold mixture to cover the entire top of the cake. You can paint this gold directly on fondant or buttercream (make sure the buttercream is chilled so it is firm enough for painting). Do not pour the gold mixture on top of the cake like we would ganache as we want a thin painted layer because if there is too much of the gold mixture on top it will pool and look streaky. 👍😃
Thanks ❤️
You are so very welcome!👍😊
How well does this hold up during transport? Will that effect the drip since it doesn’t completely dry?
This holds up well during transport. Although the drips never completely dry there is not a risk of the drips continuing down the cake. There is a risk however of smudging the drips because they never completely dry. If nothing touches the drips you should be fine. Most people have had success with this technique; however, if you want more of a guarantee that it will work I suggest using the same brand gold dust I used in this video. Some gold dusts don't mix well with the oil which can cause a problem with the oil separating from the drips later on and continuing dripping down the cake. If you want to try a different gold dust than I used I suggest first testing it out on an upside down cup and putting it through the same process you would your cake. Hope that helps. 😊
Ohhhh Woowwwwwwwww I'll try it
👍Let me know if any questions come up when you do😃
Thaaaanks🌸
You are so very welcome!😊
I realize you posted this a long time ago but I am just doing research and am trying to find how to paint white chocolate stars (I cut out the stars out of white chocolate chips) with gold luster dust? Thank you!
I actually have a video on “how to paint gold” on sweets th-cam.com/video/0hU-mqD434c/w-d-xo.html When I made this video I did not know about this better edible gold dust I used in this gold drip video so make sure to check the update in the video description of the how to paint gold video or refer back to the gold drip video for the correct gold dust which is made by Bakell. If I were you I would first try to mix gold dust with a little bit of vodka like in the how to paint gold video and try to paint that on your stars. This definitely works with fondant but it may not work with white chocolate depending on how much oil is in the white chocolate. If this works it would be ideal because the vodka evaporates and your gold paint will dry. Make sure the gold dust you use doesn't have a bad taste. If the white chocolate repels this mixture too much then you can use the mixture in this video of gold dust and vegetable oil and just paint it on instead of drip it. This will definitely work but the paint will never fully dry so it is easier to make a mess of it. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions. Good luck! (btw you could also try just putting some gold dust in a plastic bag and put a gold star in there and shake it around and this may stick enough to the stars making them gold.)
Can I do it on whip cream frosting? Thanks!
Yes you can! 😃 Although, if your whipped cream is lighter and more delicate than the gold drip it could cut through the whipped cream on the edge of the cake when you drip it. If you are concerned this might happen I recommend chilling your cake so the whipped cream is more firm when you apply the gold drip.
Is gel color and food powder can be mix with vegetable oil? What’s the ratio? Thanks
I’ve never used this method for color drips I just color white chocolate ganache with gel food coloring (I’m sure colored powder would work for this too) …here is a link to a video tutorial on that in case you’re interested th-cam.com/video/1Pu5hQDWjFM/w-d-xo.html But if you don’t want to use white chocolate ganache this might work just keep in mind that the oil has a yellow tint so you may not get the color you want for example blue and yellow make green so blue will probably end up more of a teal. I would guess the ratio of oil to food powder would be about 1:1 but you will have to use your judgement because I have never actually done this before. Try dripping it on an upside down cup to see how it drips before you drip it on your cake. You could maybe try corn syrup mixed with some water to thin it out because they are both clear and add colored powder or gel color to that not sure how your colored powder does in water. IDK I’m just brainstorming lol 😂 Sorry I couldn’t help more but this idea might be worth trying. 👍
beautiful
Thank you!
that's so good you mentioned halal, this helps a lot of muslims, you should put halal and kosher in your title you will attract a lot more people as we are always looking for halal ingredients and products , thanks for this.
You are so very welcome! I am so happy to hear this. Thank you for the great suggestion I will have to try that. I came up with this idea to help Muslims and it ended up helping everybody because it also solved the problem of taste. 😃
Its beautiful
Please can it be use on whipped cream cake too
Thank you!
Yes it can! 👍😃 Although, if your whipped cream is lighter and more delicate than the gold drip it could cut through the whipped cream on the edge of the cake when you drip it. If you are concerned this might happen I recommend chilling your cake so the whipped cream is more firm when you apply the gold drip. 😃
What liquid you use
Would you recommend covering the top of the cake with the same gold mixture?
For the top of the cake I recommend first applying the drips and then using a paintbrush to pull whatever gold mixture has pooled on the top edges of the cake in toward the center of the cake ultimately painting the top of the cake gold. You may or may not have to apply additional gold mixture to cover the entire top of the cake. You can paint this gold directly on fondant or buttercream (make sure the buttercream is chilled so it is firm enough for painting). Do not pour the gold mixture on top of the cake like we would ganache as we want a thin painted layer because if there is too much of the gold mixture on top it will pool and look streaky. 😊
Would this work on a ganache frosting?
Yes it does! 😃 I definitely recommend testing it out first though by spreading some of your ganache frosting on an upside down cup, make a couple of gold drips and then put it through the same process your cake will go through, for example, taking it in and out of the refrigerator. Ganache can be "slippery" so it's good to test it out since there are different ganache recipes out there (different ratios chocolate to cream, % cocoa, etc.). You are going to want to make sure your gold drip mixture is as thick as possible whlie just being able to drip down your cake and do your best to drip the tiniest amount of mixture as possible. If possible I would drip the gold when the ganache frosting is at room temperature because cold ganache is harder and more "slippery" but definitely do not drip it on when your ganache is still warmer than room temperature. Let me know if any questions come up. I hope it works out!
Does this not become runny like vegetable oil would, after leaving it about 1/2 hour more at room temperature?
Since it is mixed with gold dust it is thicker and should stay in place. Make sure you make it as thick as possible where it is just thin enough to barely drip off of your spoon. For more of a guarantee that it will work I suggest you use the same gold dust I used (Bakell super gold luster dust). Some gold dusts mix with the vegetable oil well at first but later separate. Let me know if you have any other questions. 😊
Would this work with a little vanilla extract or better without?
Better without, the vanilla extract is too strong of a taste. You could add powdered sugar as long as it does not mute the shimmer of your gold. If you use a different brand gold dust than me test it out on an upside down cup first. Have heard some gold dust later separates from the oil and oil continues dripping down the cake hours later.
Thanks 🙏
You are so very welcome! 😊
Hello!! 😊 I have tried vegetable oil and gold dust before but it didn't work on my cake. Is it okay if my cake is not coated with buttercream and mine is whipped cream only??
Hi! Yes it is! 😃 Although, if your whipped cream is lighter and more delicate than the gold drip it could cut through the whipped cream on the edge of the cake when you drip it. If you are concerned this might happen I recommend chilling your cake so the whipped cream is more firm when you apply the gold drip. Also, if you are using a different gold dust than I used in this video I recommend testing it out first on an upside down cup for a couple of days (putting it through the same process you would your cake for example, refrigerating it). Through thousands of people trying this method we have discovered that some gold dusts mix well with the oil at first but then later separate.
because you mentioning ‘halal’ word ... i suprised and straight subscibe to your channel🥳... wish your channel be rise up and success🎉... thank for very good tips .. will try soon✨
Yay! 🎉 Thank you so much for subscribing and wishing my channel success! You are so very welcome! Let me know if you have any questions when you try out the technique.👍😃
hi. may i ask if is this applicable for soft icing cakes ??
Yes it is! 😃 Although, if your soft icing is lighter and more delicate than the gold drip it could cut through the soft icing on the edge of the cake when you drip it. I recommend chilling your cake so the soft icing is more firm when you apply the gold drip. I also recommend icing a portion of an upside down cup and try a couple of drips taking it in and out of the refrigerator as you would a cake to test it out first.
Thank you so much. From Bangladesh.
You are so very welcome. It's nice to hear from Bangladesh. Say hello for me😃
Did you use edible spirit or vegetable oil in the gold dust?
She used vegetable oil.
Does it harden in the fridge good though ? Or does it stay runny ?
It does not harden but it does eventually become kind of a jello like consistency but never dry enough to touch. Just make sure you only put just enough oil to make it just barely drip down the cake. Also, if you are using a different brand gold dust than me try it on an upside down cup first. Some gold dusts mix well with the oil at first but then later separate. Edible vs. non-toxic gold dusts tend to work better.
Hi, I tried this yesterday and it worked and looked nice, except the colour stayed wet and some of the oil continued dripping without the gold. I could brush off the extra oil. When touching the colour by accident it stayed on my hands. Did I do something wrong? I live in Europe and maybe our gold colour isn't the same. Does ist make a difference which colour you use?
Did you drip it on buttercream or fondant? What brand gold dust did you use?
How does it spread for the top of cake? Or do you only recommend to use this for the drips?
For the top of the cake I recommend first applying the drips and then using a paintbrush to pull whatever gold mixture has pooled on the top edges of the cake in toward the center of the cake ultimately painting the top of the cake gold. You may or may not have to apply additional gold mixture to cover the entire top of the cake. You can paint this gold directly on fondant or buttercream (make sure the buttercream is chilled so it is firm enough for painting). Do not pour the gold mixture on top of the cake like we would ganache as we want a thin painted layer because if there is too much of the gold mixture on top it will pool and look streaky. Great question!👍😃
@@tastebakery wow... thanks!! I did this and it worked!!! I'm so happy
@@alicej.castro7005 I am so glad to hear that! YAY! 🎉😄
Umm just used this and it ruined my cake. The oil leaks out and ruined my cake.
Exactly
Can i substitute vegetable oil for vegetable shortening?
I have never used vegetable shortening before. Great idea, however, I think the shortening may dull the shine. You should try mixing a little of your gold dust with vegetable shortening and see if you are happy with the color and shine and if you are you can try melting it and dripping it on an upside down cup and see how it drips. I am not sure if it is ok to put all gold dusts in the microwave so you could melt it in a pan but beware gold dust can sometimes be impossible to get out of certain things. Let me know how it goes if you try it!
If you don't use all of the mixture on one cake, can it be stored to use at a later date on another cake? xx
Yes it can! You can just store it in an airtight container at room temperature.👍😊 Remember to mix it again before using it.
Kann ich die glaus auch auf fondant benutzen?
Ja, das funktioniert auch mit Fondant!
Hi 💚 I'm concerned about the taste of the oil. Is it okay to add 10xsugar?
Hi! You can add some powdered sugar but 10x would make it way too thick. Try to keep the ratio of wet (oil) to dry (gold dust & powdered sugar mix) at an approximately 1:1 ratio adding a little more dry if too thin or more oil if too thick. You are going to want it as thick as possible with it still being able to drip down the cake. You want it to drip slowly so it needs to be pretty thick. Test it out on an upside down cup first. I have not personally tried this so you will have to do a little experimenting. You shouldn't need much powdered sugar to sweeten it up if you have a nice tasteless gold dust and you want to make sure not to add too much powdered sugar as it will dull the gold. (Do not use sugar that is not powdered btw as it will taste super grainy.) If you end up tryiing this I would love to know how it goes. 👍😃
Mam aapne dust kiske sath mix kiya h pls tell me
I tried this and the results are perfect🤗thank you for Sharing
You are so very welcome! I am so happy to hear this.😄
But vegetable oil doesn't harden at room temperature (unlike melted chocolate), so won't taht meanthat it will continue to drip all the way to the bottom?
Great question! It will stop dripping as long as you mix enough dust with it. You want it as thick as you can with it just being able to drip off the spoon and you only drip the tiniest amount off of the spoon. This type of drip stops running because of gravity alone. Basically, the weight of the the drip pulls it down the cake until it comes to a lesser weight and then it stops running because it is not heavy enough for gravity to pull it down any further. I do recommend using the same gold dust I use in this video if you want more of a guarantee that it will work. If you want to use a different gold dust than I use in the video I do recommend dripping it down an upside down cup first and put it through the same process and timeline you would put your cake through (chilling it, etc.). Some gold dusts do not combine well enough with the oil and over time will separate from the oil and then the oil in the drip could separate and start to run down the cake again. I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions. 😊 (Many of my subscribers have told me that they also add powdered sugar and that worked for them, although, I have never personally tried that.)
Hi! How would this work on black buttercream?
Hi! It works wonderfully on black buttercream! The technique is the same and it really pops against the black.👍😃
Will it work on whipped cream cakes top?
Yes, it can. If the drip is heavier than the whipped cream it could possibly cut through the whipped cream so I would chill your cake first before you drip it on. If you use a different gold dust than me I recommend testing it out on an upside down cup first and let it sit for awhile because with some gold dusts the oil separates from the gold later.
Beautiful! Can u pls tell which gold dust you use. I couldn’t quite understand.

Curious, what exactly is the gold power made from?
I just did some quick research and here’s what I found… Mica is a naturally occurring mineral dust. The Bakell super gold luster dust contains mica powder pigments that go through a specific manufacturing process allowing the mineral to be edible and consumable. It also includes dextrose, rice starch and color additives specifically approved for food use including mica-based pearlescent pigments and FD&C colors. The FDA has approved all the ingredients in this luster dust based on the FDA approved ingredients and usage levels. All of this information except the information that Mica is a naturally occurring mineral dust was found under FAQs at Bakell.com. Good question!
