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!
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.👍😊
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!!!!
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!
Omg you are a masterpiece ive been looking for the perfect gold drip for ages and the fact its 100% halal i am dancing right now liked and subscribed ❤
I am so glad you are so happy with this method. Trying to make a gold mixture halal is actually how I came up with this idea. Thank you for liking and subscribing! 😊
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 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! 😊
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.)
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. 😃
Lol! You are a freaking hilarious! I love your videos. I love your humor and you've taught me so much already! I'm a beginner but I won't be for long with a great teacher like you. All the best to you!
Thank you so much for saying that! I am so glad you can learn and have fun doing it. Welcome to the world of edible decorating! It is so much fun. You've got the right attitude. With the right knowledge you don't have to be a beginner for long. YAY!
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!!
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...
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.
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.
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!
Oh no! I have not had this problem as of yet. I have only used the Bakell Super Gold Luster Dust with this method so if you did not use that gold dust maybe that is the problem? Especially if the gold dust you used is non-toxic as opposed to edible maybe it doesn't mix as well? I never tried this method with non-toxic gold dust because the one I love tasted too grainy for this method. My gold drip mixture is also as thick as possible and I don't know if the vegetable oil brand matters but I use Crisco brand. You could try adding some powdered sugar, maybe this will bind it together better. Sorry that happened!
I tried this last year and it looked great the day of but after being refrigerated and taken back out for a guest pickup, I noticed oil drips continued to leak all the way down-not the gold portion tho. Did anyone else experience this? I just took a paper towel and dabbed those areas, but that frightened me a bit to try this again. I would love to attempt once more but did I add too much oil?
Oh no! I am so sorry this didn't work for you! I know how frustrating and scary it is to have to fix a cake. Thank you for sharing your experience. Most of the feedback I have gotten on this method has been positive; however, I have had a few other people who have had this same problem. Once the drip stops it should stop for good so my guess is it is due to using a different gold dust than I did as I have only tried this technique with one gold dust. May I ask what type of gold dust you used? Was it edible or nontoxic? I have a theory that nontoxic may not mix as well as edible and may eventually separate from the oil. If you try it again I would frost a portion of an upside down cup and try a couple drips and put it through the process of taking it in and out of the refrigerator to test it out first. It may be worth buying the exact gold dust I used. Again, I am so sorry!
@@tastebakeryI can’t believe I’m just now seeing this comment. I cannot remember which type of luster brand it was but I only use edible gold lusters. I am using new brands than I did before too. Thanks for replying.
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.
Por que no puedo comprar en tu tienda? entre y me piden departamento, compañía? no entiendo yo ni tengo departamento, ni compañía solo quiero comprar polvo de oro y polvo plateado , me puede ayudar?
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.
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. 😊
Great idea! One of my subscribers tried it with coconut oil and said that it wasn't as gold as she hoped. She said a slight film covered the drip and when she scraped it a bit then it was golder. She thought maybe she didn't add enough gold dust. I have not tried this yet but my guess is that she warmed the coconut oil to make it liquid and then added the gold dust so it looked good until it cooled again and coconut oil is white at room temperature so I think it turned white and muted the gold after it cooled. I have been meaning to try this and when I do I am going to add gold to the room temperature coconut oil first to get the richness of gold that I want. Actually, I wonder if gold dusts can be microwaved though?... 🤔 You could heat it over a candle like you do butter for dipping lobster I guess. Beware though gold dust doesn't always wash off of things. I'll let you know what happens when I try it out. 😂
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!
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.
The cake in this video was 6" rounds with 3 - 2" thick cake layers. I like to make my cakes at least as tall as they are round to give it a nice modern look. For 8" rounds I make 4 - 2" thick cake layers.
Haven't tried but wouldn't do it. Coconut oil isn't clear when cold so I'd think it would dull the gold and possibly give it a white or at least opaque cast.
Oh no! I am so so sorry! I have gotten a lot of positive feedback about this technique but there are a handful of people that this happened to as well. Now that thousands of people have tried this method we have discovered that some gold dusts mix well with the oil at first but later separate. I put an update in the video description but it must not be visible enough. As soon as I read your comment I added a note that pops up in the actual video. You could add powdered sugar and this may be enough to hold the oil in place later when it separates from the gold dust. I would definitely test it out first on an upside down cup for a couple of days though and put it through the same process you would your cake (in and out of fridge, etc.). If you want more of a guarantee you may want to buy the gold dust I used in this video. Again, I am so sorry this happened to you! I know how stressful and frustrating it is to have to fix a cake. Thank you so much for letting me know. Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. I really hope it works out for you the second time around!
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. 😃
Yes you can! 😃 Although, if frosting is lighter and more delicate than the gold drip it could cut through the frosting on the edge of the cake when you drip it. If you are concerned this might happen I recommend chilling your cake so the frosting is more firm when you apply the gold drip. Also, if you are using a different gold dust that 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).

Unfortunately no because the gold will not show through the candy melts. You can paint the drips gold after the candy melt drips harden if you want to use candy melts. Here is a link to my video on how to make gold paint th-cam.com/video/0hU-mqD434c/w-d-xo.html
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.
It does not continue to drip down as long as you put as little vegetable oil as possible so it just barely drips off the spoon. This way it is thick enough to drip slowly and it stops dripping as it loses weight when the gravity no longer outweighs the friction of it dripping down the cake...it's all very scientific LOL 😂 Just think of anything thick that drips and how it eventually stops. Does that make sense?
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. 😊
Great idea! I have never tried this but I think it's worth trying. The butter may change the color a bit so if you want to try butter Land O' Lakes unsalted butter is not very yellow so it's a safer bet. I am not sure if gold dust can be microwaved but if it can you may want to add the gold dust to the butter at room temperature before warming it to a liquid. Butter is less clear as it solidifies so this will be more accurate of your end result. If it can not be microwaved you could melt it in a pan but know that gold dust can sometimes be impossible to get off certain things. 😊 (p.s. If anybody reading this comment has tried this with butter please let us know how it went. Thanks!)
Yes you can! I can't guarantee how smooth it will look but what I would do if I were you is smear some of your buttercream on a plate put it in the refrigerator to chill and then paint some on the buttercream and see how it looks. Try to paint it on as thin as you can. If you like how it looks chill your whole cake for an hour to be safe and then paint it. Chill it so the buttercream is hard and won't be affected by the paint brush. Also know that it will never completely dry because it is oil. If you can use alcohol I would instead mix the gold dust with just vodka or better yet Everclear and paint it on with this solution. Since it's a thin coat you don't have to worry about it affecting the taste as much and it will dry completely this way. Good luck! Let me know how it turns out.😀🎂
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.
You are correct, it does not ever completely set or harden because it is oil. The gold dust thickens it up quite a bit so it does dry a litte over time but not completely.

I think you mean can you add this to a cake frosted in whipped cream and the answer is yes you 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. Does that answer your question?
Great idea! One of my subscribers tried it with coconut oil and said that it wasn't as gold as she hoped. She said a slight film covered the drip and when she scraped it a bit then it was golder. She thought maybe she didn't add enough gold dust. I have not tried this but my guess is that she warmed the coconut oil to make it liquid so it looked good until it cooled again and coconut oil is white at room temperature so I think it turned white and muted the gold after it cooled. Does that make sense? I have not tried this so I am just playing a scenario in my mind so I could be completely wrong.😂
Hallo, mischen Sie ungefähr gleiche Teile Pflanzenöl und Bakell-Super-Goldglanzstaub, aber verwenden Sie Ihr Urteilsvermögen, um die richtige Konsistenz zu erzielen. Lassen Sie mich wissen, wenn Sie weitere Fragen haben.
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!

Yes you can! Since posting this video we have discovered that this technique does not work with all gold dusts. They mix well at first and then later separate. I have not tested silver yet but I would start with Bakell Nu Super Silver Luster Dust because I used Bakell Super Gold Luster Dust in this video and it worked great. These are edible dusts so I think they may mix better than non-toxic dusts. I would test it out first on an upside down cup and let it sit a couple of days to make sure the oil does not separate. Let me know if you have any other questions.😊
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. 😃
Hi! I am not 100% sure what you are asking however I am guessing maybe you are talking about a problem that can occurs using some gold dusts. 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 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.). Is this what you were asking? or was it something else entirely? 😅 (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.) Let me know if you have any other questions. 😊
Bakell Super Gold Luster Dust: bakell.com/products/super-gold-edible-luster-dust-4-gram-jar It is a powder that you mix with vegetable oil. You do not have to melt it. Hope that helps. 😊
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.
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.

It pretty much tastes like nothing as long as the gold dust you use is tasteless. Many people add powdered sugar as long as it doesn't mute the shimmer of you drips. If you do not use the gold dust I used in this video make sure you test this out first on an upside down cup. A common problem with some dusts is they later separate from the oil and the oil continues dripping down the cake later. This has not happened to me but I have heard of it happening to others. Powdered sugar could help with this problem too. Good luck!
Oh no! I am so sorry this happened! Thanks to viewers like you sharing their feedback we have discovered that not all gold dusts work with this method. I think edible gold dusts may work better than non-toxic. If you feel like trying this again you may want to use the same gold dust I used in the video, Bakell Super Gold Luster Dust. If not, I totally understand. I would also test it out first on an upside down cup. I put a pop up in the video warning viewers of this but maybe you watched it before then or it is not visible enough. Again, I am so sorry this happened. I know how frusterating it is to have to fix a cake. Thank you so much for your feedback!
I wonder if using melted coconut oil would work better then vegetable oil 🤔... Especially on a cold cake-- that might make it more likely to harden, and not run completely down the cake...
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! 😃
You add about the same oil as gold dust. For example, if you use 1 teaspoon of gold dust you use approximately 1 teaspoon of oil. That being said, this is more of an approximate. In reality you are going to want to use your judgement. You want to add a very little amount of oil at a time and test it out and see how it pours off of your spoon. It is reallly important that the gold drip mixture is as thick as it can be with it just being able to drip off of your spoon. If it's too thin it will run too far down the cake. Once you get the drip to the correct consistency then you are going to want to drip the tiniest drip you can off of your spoon. I recommend testing your drip on an upside down cup first. I also highly recommend using the same brand gold dust I used in this video. Since publishing this video through thousands of people trying this method we have learned that there are some gold dusts that just don't mix well with oil or some that do but then later the oil separates from the gold dust and continues dripping down the cake. If you want to use another gold dust I HIGHLY recommend dripping your mixture on an upside down cup and put it through the same process, timing as you will your cake. A longer answer than expected I''m sure. 😂 Let me know if any other questions come up. I am happy to help. Once you get this technique down it saves a lot of time 😊 Also, many viewers told me that they added powdered sugar to the mixture as well and this worked well for them, although I have yet to try this personally.
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!👍😃
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. 😊
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.

I haven't used silver in awhile and I am out so I can not remember for sure which I used but I would bet on the same brand for silver that I like for gold so I would try either Bakell.com silver luster dust for an edible dust option or Trulymadplastics.com silver luster dust for a non-toxic option. I know with Bakell you can order a small inexpensive sample so you can test it out first. Let me know how it goes. Good luck!
Another oil should work. I would make the solution and try it out on an upside down cup first before you put it on your cake. I would also put the cup with the drips in the refrigerator for a little bit to chill and then let it sit to room temperature and make sure everything looks good. Basically put it through the process you would put your cake through to make sure it holds up well before you put it on your cake.

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.👍😃
Yes it can! 👍😃 Although, if your cream is lighter and more delicate than the gold drip it could cut through the 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 cream is more firm when you apply the gold drip. 😃
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?

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 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!🥳
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! 😃
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! ❤️
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!
Omg you are a masterpiece ive been looking for the perfect gold drip for ages and the fact its 100% halal i am dancing right now liked and subscribed ❤
I am so glad you are so happy with this method. Trying to make a gold mixture halal is actually how I came up with this idea. Thank you for liking and subscribing! 😊
Tried it and it’s as good as you said. Game changer thanks
You are so very welcome!
This is mind blowing!!!!Can’t wait to try this method out…Thank you so much for the tip 🙏🏽

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!
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! 😊
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.)
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. 😃
Lol! You are a freaking hilarious! I love your videos. I love your humor and you've taught me so much already! I'm a beginner but I won't be for long with a great teacher like you. All the best to you!
Thank you so much for saying that! I am so glad you can learn and have fun doing it. Welcome to the world of edible decorating! It is so much fun. You've got the right attitude. With the right knowledge you don't have to be a beginner for long. YAY!
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...
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.
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.
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!
Will be trying this now for my cake tomorrow! I believe in this! 🥳
YAY! 🎉Let me know if any questions come up.👍😃
How did it go?
How did it go? Please update
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. 👍😊
I tried this recipe in fresh cream cake and went well. But after some time oil came apart from dripping. Please suggest how to fix this.Thanks
Oh no! I have not had this problem as of yet. I have only used the Bakell Super Gold Luster Dust with this method so if you did not use that gold dust maybe that is the problem? Especially if the gold dust you used is non-toxic as opposed to edible maybe it doesn't mix as well? I never tried this method with non-toxic gold dust because the one I love tasted too grainy for this method. My gold drip mixture is also as thick as possible and I don't know if the vegetable oil brand matters but I use Crisco brand. You could try adding some powdered sugar, maybe this will bind it together better. Sorry that happened!
I had the same problem oil comes apart and runs down cake leaves marks
Dry this technique good? Thank you 😊
I tried this last year and it looked great the day of but after being refrigerated and taken back out for a guest pickup, I noticed oil drips continued to leak all the way down-not the gold portion tho. Did anyone else experience this?
I just took a paper towel and dabbed those areas, but that frightened me a bit to try this again. I would love to attempt once more but did I add too much oil?
Oh no! I am so sorry this didn't work for you! I know how frustrating and scary it is to have to fix a cake. Thank you for sharing your experience. Most of the feedback I have gotten on this method has been positive; however, I have had a few other people who have had this same problem. Once the drip stops it should stop for good so my guess is it is due to using a different gold dust than I did as I have only tried this technique with one gold dust. May I ask what type of gold dust you used? Was it edible or nontoxic? I have a theory that nontoxic may not mix as well as edible and may eventually separate from the oil. If you try it again I would frost a portion of an upside down cup and try a couple drips and put it through the process of taking it in and out of the refrigerator to test it out first. It may be worth buying the exact gold dust I used. Again, I am so sorry!
Same!!! Nightmare
This happened to me too😮 It freaked me out
@@tastebakeryI can’t believe I’m just now seeing this comment. I cannot remember which type of luster brand it was but I only use edible gold lusters. I am using new brands than I did before too. Thanks for replying.
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.
Will it work on buttercream
Thank you for this! I just used your easy recipe and it turned out fabulous!
You are so very welcome! I am so happy to hear this! Thank you for letting me know.
Por que no puedo comprar en tu tienda? entre y me piden departamento, compañía? no entiendo yo ni tengo departamento, ni compañía solo quiero comprar polvo de oro y polvo plateado , me puede ayudar?
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.
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. 😊
What about melted coconut oil that way it will harden???
Great idea! One of my subscribers tried it with coconut oil and said that it wasn't as gold as she hoped. She said a slight film covered the drip and when she scraped it a bit then it was golder. She thought maybe she didn't add enough gold dust. I have not tried this yet but my guess is that she warmed the coconut oil to make it liquid and then added the gold dust so it looked good until it cooled again and coconut oil is white at room temperature so I think it turned white and muted the gold after it cooled. I have been meaning to try this and when I do I am going to add gold to the room temperature coconut oil first to get the richness of gold that I want. Actually, I wonder if gold dusts can be microwaved though?... 🤔 You could heat it over a candle like you do butter for dipping lobster I guess. Beware though gold dust doesn't always wash off of things. I'll let you know what happens when I try it out. 😂
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!
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.

Whats the size of your cakes- 8"
or 6"and how many layers? Thnx .
The cake in this video was 6" rounds with 3 - 2" thick cake layers. I like to make my cakes at least as tall as they are round to give it a nice modern look. For 8" rounds I make 4 - 2" thick cake layers.
@@tastebakery thnx so much... appreciate it!
@@JC-vx8cjYou are so very welcome!
Do you think coconut oil would work out the same ? Might taste a little better ??
Haven't tried but wouldn't do it. Coconut oil isn't clear when cold so I'd think it would dull the gold and possibly give it a white or at least opaque cast.
Can i use canola oil instead of vegetable oil?
I have never tried this method with canola oil but I would imagine it would work.👍😊
Can this be used with melted butter??
What kind of oil vegetables u use?
Vegetable Oil
Tried this and looked great but later the oil seperated..disaster. should i add some powdered sugar to thicken?
Oh no! I am so so sorry! I have gotten a lot of positive feedback about this technique but there are a handful of people that this happened to as well. Now that thousands of people have tried this method we have discovered that some gold dusts mix well with the oil at first but later separate. I put an update in the video description but it must not be visible enough. As soon as I read your comment I added a note that pops up in the actual video. You could add powdered sugar and this may be enough to hold the oil in place later when it separates from the gold dust. I would definitely test it out first on an upside down cup for a couple of days though and put it through the same process you would your cake (in and out of fridge, etc.). If you want more of a guarantee you may want to buy the gold dust I used in this video. Again, I am so sorry this happened to you! I know how stressful and frustrating it is to have to fix a cake. Thank you so much for letting me know. Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. I really hope it works out for you the second time around!
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. ❤

Can rice bran oil be used?
Could you add this to candy melts?
Unfortunately no because the gold will not show through the candy melts. You can paint the drips gold after the candy melt drips harden if you want to use candy melts. Here is a link to my video on how to make gold paint th-cam.com/video/0hU-mqD434c/w-d-xo.html
I tried it’s turned out really good
Thanks
You are so very welcome! I am so happy to hear that! Thank you for letting me know
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.
Does this continue to drip down as it doesn’t set?
It does not continue to drip down as long as you put as little vegetable oil as possible so it just barely drips off the spoon. This way it is thick enough to drip slowly and it stops dripping as it loses weight when the gravity no longer outweighs the friction of it dripping down the cake...it's all very scientific LOL 😂 Just think of anything thick that drips and how it eventually stops. Does that make sense?
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. 😊
Umm just used this and it ruined my cake. The oil leaks out and ruined my cake.
Exactly
True
If I use melted butter instead of oil , will it works?
Great idea! I have never tried this but I think it's worth trying. The butter may change the color a bit so if you want to try butter Land O' Lakes unsalted butter is not very yellow so it's a safer bet. I am not sure if gold dust can be microwaved but if it can you may want to add the gold dust to the butter at room temperature before warming it to a liquid. Butter is less clear as it solidifies so this will be more accurate of your end result. If it can not be microwaved you could melt it in a pan but know that gold dust can sometimes be impossible to get off certain things. 😊 (p.s. If anybody reading this comment has tried this with butter please let us know how it went. Thanks!)
Can i use it to paint the whole cake?
Plz plz plz plzzzz reply me asap🥺🥺🥺
Yes you can! I can't guarantee how smooth it will look but what I would do if I were you is smear some of your buttercream on a plate put it in the refrigerator to chill and then paint some on the buttercream and see how it looks. Try to paint it on as thin as you can. If you like how it looks chill your whole cake for an hour to be safe and then paint it. Chill it so the buttercream is hard and won't be affected by the paint brush. Also know that it will never completely dry because it is oil. If you can use alcohol I would instead mix the gold dust with just vodka or better yet Everclear and paint it on with this solution. Since it's a thin coat you don't have to worry about it affecting the taste as much and it will dry completely this way. Good luck! Let me know how it turns out.😀🎂
What happens over time ,say the next day does it still.look the same please
Does it affect it if you put the cake in the fridge after?
Thank you for this I have been thinking on how to achieve this
You are so very welcome!
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.
Does it ever set/go harder as its oil?
You are correct, it does not ever completely set or harden because it is oil. The gold dust thickens it up quite a bit so it does dry a litte over time but not completely.

Can you add this drip to whipped cream?
I think you mean can you add this to a cake frosted in whipped cream and the answer is yes you 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. Does that answer your question?
Does it works with coconut oil ?
Great idea! One of my subscribers tried it with coconut oil and said that it wasn't as gold as she hoped. She said a slight film covered the drip and when she scraped it a bit then it was golder.

Mam we can use silver dust in this method
Yes you can! Since posting this video we have discovered that this technique does not work with all gold dusts. They mix well at first and then later separate. I have not tested silver yet but I would start with Bakell Nu Super Silver Luster Dust because I used Bakell Super Gold Luster Dust in this video and it worked great. These are edible dusts so I think they may mix better than non-toxic dusts. I would test it out first on an upside down cup and let it sit a couple of days to make sure the oil does not separate. Let me know if you have any other questions.😊
S mam I tried it today and it comes out well

Why is the dripping let oil drips after?
Hi! I am not 100% sure what you are asking however I am guessing maybe you are talking about a problem that can occurs using some gold dusts. 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 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.).

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.

Is it good to taste ? Or i need to add sugar in it.
It pretty much tastes like nothing as long as the gold dust you use is tasteless. Many people add powdered sugar as long as it doesn't mute the shimmer of you drips. If you do not use the gold dust I used in this video make sure you test this out first on an upside down cup. A common problem with some dusts is they later separate from the oil and the oil continues dripping down the cake later. This has not happened to me but I have heard of it happening to others. Powdered sugar could help with this problem too. Good luck!
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
I tried this today and the oil separated from the gold and ran down past the gold drip on the cake, not a very effective way to make gold drip.
Oh no! I am so sorry this happened! Thanks to viewers like you sharing their feedback we have discovered that not all gold dusts work with this method. I think edible gold dusts may work better than non-toxic. If you feel like trying this again you may want to use the same gold dust I used in the video, Bakell Super Gold Luster Dust. If not, I totally understand. I would also test it out first on an upside down cup. I put a pop up in the video warning viewers of this but maybe you watched it before then or it is not visible enough. Again, I am so sorry this happened. I know how frusterating it is to have to fix a cake. Thank you so much for your feedback!
I wonder if using melted coconut oil would work better then vegetable oil 🤔... Especially on a cold cake-- that might make it more likely to harden, and not run completely down the cake...
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! 😃
how much oil do you add?
You add about the same oil as gold dust. For example, if you use 1 teaspoon of gold dust you use approximately 1 teaspoon of oil. That being said, this is more of an approximate. In reality you are going to want to use your judgement. You want to add a very little amount of oil at a time and test it out and see how it pours off of your spoon. It is reallly important that the gold drip mixture is as thick as it can be with it just being able to drip off of your spoon. If it's too thin it will run too far down the cake. Once you get the drip to the correct consistency then you are going to want to drip the tiniest drip you can off of your spoon. I recommend testing your drip on an upside down cup first. I also highly recommend using the same brand gold dust I used in this video. Since publishing this video through thousands of people trying this method we have learned that there are some gold dusts that just don't mix well with oil or some that do but then later the oil separates from the gold dust and continues dripping down the cake. If you want to use another gold dust I HIGHLY recommend dripping your mixture on an upside down cup and put it through the same process, timing as you will your cake. A longer answer than expected I''m sure. 😂 Let me know if any other questions come up. I am happy to help. Once you get this technique down it saves a lot of time 😊 Also, many viewers told me that they added powdered sugar to the mixture as well and this worked well for them, although I have yet to try this personally.
Will it dry hard or remain sticky?
This is great, would Canola oil work too?
I think so!
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! 🎉😄
What is the brand name of gold dust you used?
Bakell Super Gold Luster Dust
Very nice cake decoration
Thank you so much!
So good, made it easier..thankyou
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. 😊
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.👍😃
Question, does the drip stay nice for a few days?
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. 👍😃
It is okay to use whipping cream?
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.
Can I put this on cream cheese frosting and have it stay too?
Absolutely 😃
Do you have a preferred brand for silver dust?
I haven't used silver in awhile and I am out so I can not remember for sure which I used but I would bet on the same brand for silver that I like for gold so I would try either Bakell.com silver luster dust for an edible dust option or Trulymadplastics.com silver luster dust for a non-toxic option. I know with Bakell you can order a small inexpensive sample so you can test it out first. Let me know how it goes. Good luck!

You just saved me 😊😊😊 thanks soooo much!!!!!!! Subscribed!!!
You are so very welcome! YAY! I am so glad I could help! Thank you for subscribing! 👍😃🎂
Can I use another oil?
Another oil should work. I would make the solution and try it out on an upside down cup first before you put it on your cake. I would also put the cup with the drips in the refrigerator for a little bit to chill and then let it sit to room temperature and make sure everything looks good. Basically put it through the process you would put your cake through to make sure it holds up well before you put it on your cake.
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. 😊

this can be used for fresh cream cake also pls let me know
Yes it can! 👍😃 Although, if your cream is lighter and more delicate than the gold drip it could cut through the 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 cream is more firm when you apply the gold drip. 😃
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?
Fantastic. Can’t wait to try it. Thank you
You are so very welcome! Let me know how it goes👍😊
Exactly what I've been searching for
Oh good! I am so glad you found this video!
