Yes honey gold x I find it best to colour the fondant a similar colour to the lustre dust you wish to use as if there are any little parts that you may miss, it wouldn’t be as obvious x
I understand that this video is for tutorial purposes but question for you... Did you use a styrofoam instead of a real cake??? Is this the best way to learn how to cover a cake with fondant? Just curious. I have a wedding cake to do in November.
Hi there x yes I did use a polystyrene cake dummy for this (it’s currently on display). Using a dummy is a great way to practice covering cakes, just bare in mind that the dummy is significantly lighter than a real cake x
Fantastic job! Could I do a ganache this on a ganache cake? Also would I be able to do a ganache drip over the painted ganache or would it run the colour?
You can paint directly onto ganache. Adding a drip after may effect the paint slightly. Best thing to do would be to do a little tester to see how that turns out before going straight into a cake x
Can someone help me, can you put the painted cake back in the fridge after or will it affect the paint? EDIT: I did paint the buttercream in gold paint and it was fine in the fridge overnight! Just have to make sure the buttercream is very firm before painting. Thank you so much for replying xx
I wouldn’t advise putting a fondant covered cake in the fridge regardless whether it’s been painted or not. The fondant will sweat when brought back to room temperature x
Oh lol x I’ve personally never painted a buttercream cake. I tend to just colour the buttercream the colours I need. I know many ppl have painted a whole buttercream cake before. Not sure if they have put it in the fridge after, but I know you would need to be very gentle when painting it as not to ruin the smoothness if your buttercream x
What kind of edible dust did you use ? I'm having a hard time finding actual edible dust. It seems websites like Amazon market as edible but it is not.
Hi, this helps a lot, I've to do a rose gold cake in a few days, what I'm wondering though is can you do brush embroidery over this? I wouldn't want to pull the colour off it. X
Hi Mandy x I’ve never actually tried, but I don’t see why you wouldn’t be able to. I would possibly leave it to dry/settle for a day before doing the brush embroidery though x
Rejuvenator spirit has a high alcohol content so it evaporates quickly when painted onto a cake. You could use a very high alcohol vodka (not the normal drinking one) or if you wanted or needed to avoid alcohol completely, you could use lemon extract x
Hi its very helpful video. Plz could u tell how to do glitter effect on buttercream cream cake. I've searched so much, but cant find answer. Would i apply glitter first then paint it on the buttercream, also what kind of glitter is paintable. Also can buttercream cake can be refrigrated after paint & glitter. Thank you so much for your tutorial .
Hi there, I don’t/have never painted a full buttercream cake (just maybe a name). They can be placed in the fridge, but you would need to be very careful when bringing it back to room temperature as it could sweat and the paint could run or discolour. If I use glitter on a buttercream cake, I just use the non aerosol lustre puffs all over the cake once decorated x
Rejuvenator spirit helps to turn edible dusts into a paint. It evaporates completely so leaves no after taste. Zoe’s Fancy Cakes sells this and also ships worldwide x
Hey colouring your fondant yellow before painting really makes a difference? Like does it make look more shinier or brighter or something like that? What if i paint on white Fondant. Will there any be large difference?
Colouring it a similar colour just helps with the covering of the paint (as in if you slightly miss a section, it won’t stand out as bad). You can leave if white, but depending on the paint, you may need more layers of paint to ensure it’s covered.
Hello, thanks for the tutoral. Is the fondant originally colored or you colored it yourself. If you did were there no issues if fondant being to soft or cracks. Again which brand do you use. thanks
I’ve not personally used any, but I’m sure there will be a brand out there that does them. Failing that, I would use standard colours and add some edible shimmer dust to it so it sparkles x x
Hi there x I’ve painted onto small sections of buttercream, but never tried a whole cake before. I’m confident it’s doable, but I would say you would need to be a lot more careful as to not mess the buttercream up x
is it okay if i wanna color it gold but i don't use similar color fondant? i don't have the food coloring. please give me an answer cause it's for my final exam and i have to finish it tomorrow:')
Hi Fatiha x rejuvenator spirit is a very strong alcohol (not for drinking) which evaporates very quickly leaving no trace/taste x it’s also know as dipping solution x I purchased mine from www.icedjemsshop.com
Hi there x I’ve never coloured fondant a champagne colour before, however I believe if you add a hint of pink and a very small touch of brown to your fondant, these may give you the colour you need. Alternatively, there is a new edible paint out by Sweetsticks, they do a champagne paint which can be painted straight into cakes. This can be purchased from www.chrissiecakesandsupplies.co.uk x hope this helps x
Hi do we have to put cream first and then fondant because I’m gonna make this similar but it’s my first time doing all these so if possible can yuh help me please 🙂
Hi Hun x always allow your fondant to set over night before attempting to stack them, and use a cake lifter or something similar to help to lift your cake so you don’t have to handle it too much x
I would always use a large brush and do longer strokes where possible. It’s impossible not to have some streaks, but the buffing after can help to hide some of it x
Thank you so much. All these times I was wondering what should I use to mix the dust. Thanks again. But I don’t have that rejuvenator. What can I use instead?
That looks so perfect! I have to do a gold top tier to go onto a black bottom tier and I'm super nervous about the gold transferring onto the black. Any tips please?
Thank you sweetie x x it can be difficult with transfer, especially with black. All I could advise is to be as precise with the placing of the tier so you don’t have to move it about and to also make sure the cake is left overnight before stacking any cakes so they have time to firm up, that will make it much easier x
Hi Hun, you wouldn’t get the same effect without turning the dust into a paint, dust alone would make it sparkle, but it wouldn’t give it the deep gold colour x
Hi there x rejuvenator spirit is a strong alcohol which turns edible dust into paint, the alcohol evaporates very quickly allowing the paint to dry very quickly x you can also us dipping solution x

Nauty Little Treats hello!!! Thanks for the response. I didn’t know you’ll respond cause you uploaded this way back. Anyway, I made the cake! I didn’t used plain extract but used alcohol! It worked. The only problem I had is that the fondant was to soft to be painted! Should I let the fondant dry first before painting? I could’ve waited for a while but it was already becoming so soft and sticky.

Hi would you be able to tell me how much Luster Dust I'd have to use for a 9 inch cake ? I'm making 3 to get the height I want but where I live , they only sell the 4gram Luster Dust and it's expensive .. Your response would be greatly appreciated
Hi Melissa x I honestly don’t know how much you would need for a 9” cake. I would recommend using the Colour Splash dust. It’s a 5g pot. The cake in the pic is 6” round approx 5” tall and I didn’t use the whole pot. So maybe 2 to be on the safe side. I purchased mine from www.icedjemsshop.com for only £2.35 each x hope this helps x

So Sugarflair honey gold was used to color the fondant prior to painting. Thank you so much
Yes honey gold x I find it best to colour the fondant a similar colour to the lustre dust you wish to use as if there are any little parts that you may miss, it wouldn’t be as obvious x
Thank you for including all of the advice for getting the fondant smooth and the edges crisp. I'm feeling a lot more confident now!
Ahh I’m so glad to hear that x x 🤗
Beautiful work! Can I ask what brand of luster dust do you use?
I currently use Faye Cahill x this one would have been different though. Should be in the description box x
Nice 🍰. I wanted to know if I could use french buttercream to paint gold instead of fondant? Thx
Hi there x you can paint over buttercream, you just need to ensure it is fully crusted over and be a lot more gentle with it x
Thank you for this wonderful video 👌👌✌✌✌👍👍👍
Thank you x x
Awesome video!
Could you use this to paint buttercream???
Did you buttercream on the dummy before applying the fondant?
No, you can just use a little water or edible glue to help it stick. Sometimes trex will work too x
great video so helpful ! can you recomend a dust to give a nice bright silver - its for s silver wedding cake. thank you !
Hey hun x I always use the colour splash gold and silver x and if I need to brighten the silver I just add a little of the pearl shimmer x
@@NautyLittleTreats thats great, thank you so much ! x
Wow Beautiful,so it's just a plastic icing only how can I make it with better cream.
You can paint onto buttercream, you just need to be much more careful and ensure the buttercream has crusted over x

Hi, in the description it just say's lustre dust can you please tell me what the brand is? Thank you

Hi what is rejuvenator spirit??
Can we replace with something else??
Rejuvenator spirit has a high alcohol content so it evaporates quickly when painted onto a cake. You could use a very high alcohol vodka (not the normal drinking one) or if you wanted or needed to avoid alcohol completely, you could use lemon extract x
Would you get the same results on coloured ganache? Thanks
I’ve not painted ganache before but many ppl do so I’m sure the effect would be similar if not the same x
Great tutorial. Question, what color should the fondant be before applying the gold duster?
You can paint directly onto white fondant if preferred, however I coloured mine using Sugarflair’s honey gold x
Nauty Little Treats would it better results coloring the fondant though? Or would it look the same?
Hello,what is the colour you used to colour you sugar paste is it yellow ?
It was sugarflair honey gold x
Did you use water to mix the dust?
I mixed the edible dust with rejuvenator spirit. You can use lemon extract or rose water as an alternative x
